Abstract

Computational building simulation tools have typically viewed buildings as artefacts isolated and disconnected from their contexts. At most, the external environmental conditions have been viewed as outside influences or stressors encapsulated in, for example, weather files for energy simulation or sky models for lighting simulation. To model the building artefact as a participant in a context over time (so that the interactions and dependencies between the region and building can be adequately explored), requires consideration of the regional context, as well as the artefact and the related life cycle processes. Using computational design and evaluation tools can support, in principle, such context-sensitive analysis. This paper discusses the implementation of an impact assessment method and the regional environmental simulation in Ecologue. Ecologue is the computational tool for life cycle environmental impact assessment in the SEMPER integrated building design and simulation system. Ecologue contains a building model and an environmental model. The building model is automatically derived from the shared building model of the SEMPER system. The environmental model includes a representation of the processes and emissions occurring in the life cycle of buildings and an impact assessment model. The impact assessment model is a combination of a context model of the physical characteristics of a region and a sub-regional fate and transport model based on the fugacity concept.
