WORKFLOW

Four steps from IDF to optimal design

1

Define variables

Set design parameters, such as WWR, shading depth, glazing type, orientation, with ranges and constraints.

2

EnergyPlus sampling

Latin Hypercube Sampling generates diverse design combinations; each is simulated automatically.

3

Surrogate training

XGBoost learns from the simulation data and evaluates thousands of candidates in seconds.

4

Pareto front export

NSGA-III finds the optimal trade-off surface. Archive, CSV, and PDF report exported automatically.

CAPABILITIES

Everything you need, in one pipeline

🧬

Multi-objective NSGA-III

Optimize energy, embodied carbon, and comfort simultaneously, handles 4+ objectives without losing solution diversity.

🏷️

Full IDF parametric control

Tag-based IDF substitution gives direct control over any EnergyPlus parameter, geometry, materials, HVAC.

⚡

XGBoost surrogate model

Orders of magnitude faster than brute-force simulation, and generalizes accurately from the sampled data.

📅

60-year lifecycle analysis

Scale energy and carbon results over the full building lifetime, with a user-configurable study period.

🧱

Embodied carbon calculator

Built-in material database with quantity take-off, tracked alongside operational energy in every run.

🔍

Global sensitivity analysis

See which variables drive performance most, the levers worth pulling before you commit to a design.
