Abstract

The use of computational tools, in both the design process (CAD ¿ Computer Aided Design; CAE ¿ Computer Aided Engineering) and in the production (CAM ¿ Computer Aided Manufacturing), has allowed exploring new forms and geometries, as well as optimize various aspects of the project, reducing the amount of material and electrical energy expended, both in the construction and during the building¿s usage. Through parameterization, computational simulations and the use of genetic algorithms, it¿s possible to obtain a reduction in the electrical energy and material consumption in a project, regardless of the complexity level of its geometry. This work aims to develop a design method based on multicriterial analysis aimed at thermic and structural performance optimization in complex-shaped buildings. This method focuses in the early stages of the design process, allowing comprehending the influences of this formal exploration in these questions (AU)
