In order to provide architects with a method to compare different building geometries regarding the energy production, the aim of this project is to develop a flexible parametric design platform in order to optimize the shape of buildings according to thei ...
In the 3D-modelling universe, the Level of Detail has a crucial role, as it is the case to assess the PV potential in urban environments using this kind of models. According to the CityGML standards, there are five levels of detail, going from the footprin ...
The assessment of the solar potential in urban areas relies on a geometrical model that can be defined at different levels of detail (LOD). In this work we compare the solar irradiation simulated on the surfaces of four sample buildings, which were modeled ...
In order to assess the photovoltaic potential of a building in an urban environment, the creation of a 3D model is necessary. However, there are many different levels of detail (LOD) to model a building. In this report, we compared the three main LODs acco ...
