Performance based parameters as generators in digital architecture: An environmental approach

This paper revolves around the discussion about sustainable architecture; the parameters related to it and how these parameters can be used in relation to generate architecture where the energy consumption during operation is in focus. A topic which is of interest in today's architectural world because of the high energy use buildings have. It calls for a rethinking of our approach to architecture and for an implementation architectural and technical demands from the beginning of the design process. The term generating in relation to this article is focused on algorithms and parametric descriptions, but can also encompass a more analogue process.
