An integrated energy performance-driven generative design methodology to foster modular lightweight steel framed dwellings in hot climates

This paper presents a study on the application of lightweight steel framed (LSF) construction systems in hot climate. A generative design method created 6010 houses, with random geometry and random roof and exterior wall types with different insulation levels, and EnergyPlus was used to evaluate the...
