Statistical methods applied to optimize perforated façade design for daylight availability

Perforated solar screens (PSS) are an important consideration in building façade design due to its contribution to sustainability through daylighting. PSS design requires the consideration of many potential design alternatives that involves a large number of simulations. This paper presents a method...
