Abstract

Early planning decisions highly influence the resource-efficiency and environmental impact of a building design. Through the inclusion of design knowledge regarding the structural design and embedded emissions, the design process can be effectively supported. For the early provision of the multidisciplinary knowledge and a related design assistance, the application of knowledge-based methods is proposed. Based on this approach, an expertise regarding the structural design and material-related embedded emissions is provided in the form of easy-to-understand design information. An achievable design support is demonstrated with the aid of a case study on a real-life building design. In this context, the early inclusion of knowledge enables a promising multidisciplinary design assistance regarding the structural and environmental performance. Through extension of the involved knowledge, the application range of the design support can be enlarged. For this purpose, the application and inclusion of further knowledge sources are addressed in future research.
