Performance-driven Facade Design

Performance-Driven Facade Design is a computational design methodology within architectural science that iteratively optimizes facade configurations through quantitative performance metrics—such as energy efficiency, daylighting, thermal comfort, and structural behavior—thereby distinguishing itself from purely aesthetic or prescriptive approaches by grounding design decisions in simulated or measured environmental and functional outcomes.
