How does building form express energy performance through design? Design, in our opinion, increases its agency as energy considerations move to early stages of design. Shifting energy evaluations earlier, as the review of literature shows, highlights a gap in the utilization of building geometry to reduce energy consumption. The limited utilization of building geometry in design requires redress to...
Building form does influence energy consumption. Designing low-energy architecture to minimize energy consumption requires thoughtful articulation of the shape and form of a building. The Architect's decision-making for more energy efficient building form is often based on rules of thumb. Historically, the rule of thumb regarding passive solar building design suggests that form and orientation matter...
