Abstract
As an alternative to conventional monodirectional simulation tools, we introduce a preference-based performance-driven tool to generate comp utationally single-room designs based on requirements of daylight avai lability and distribution. To extend the applicability of this tool be yond single-room configurations, we have developed a rule-based system for the generation and modification of facade designs. We discuss the structure, capabilities, and limitations of these tools.
