This study aimed to propose an optimization process for a free-form building shape in terms of the thermal load characteristic in the early design stage. Geometric modeling of a model free-form building was performed using a parametric design method with Rhinoceros. The model free-form building's surface was divided into finite elements by generating a mesh using Grasshopper, which is an add-in program...
The purpose of this paper is to suggest a simple way of determining the thermal characteristic of free-form buildings, which can be applied at an early stage of the design phase. The thermal load of a reference building estimated using TRNSYS 16 is compared with those for various free-form buildings that have the same envelope area as the reference building. A database of thermal load ratios (i.e...
