Incident Solar Radiation Prediction Revisited

New synthetic data informed the ML model to improve the prediction results by half. In the previous test the mean distance between prediction and real measure was ~23.70. Now the distance was reduced to ~8.25. One of the main advantages of synthetic data is that can be moulded to the problem.... more...

Incident Solar Radiation Prediction

Incident solar radiation, Buildings energy consumption, and other environmental analysis are based on expensive computational simulations. The building energy consumption forecast relies on environmental simulations and digital 3D models that represents the building physics properties. Typically, th... more...

Synthetic data with Rhino-Grasshopper, Ladybug and Laga library

Synthetic Data is data artificially created in contrast of data collected from real world events. The goal is to provide a fast and cheap alternative to real world data to create accurate Artificial Intelligent models. For this study an incident solar radiation simulation is executed automatically... more...

Machine Learning for AEC to Tackle Climate Change

The AEC industry plays a key role in climate change. According to the latest IPCC report (chapter 6) cities are generating about 70% of global CO2-eq emissions. This contribution impact negatively to people, infrastructure, and business due to the hazards related with the climate change. In addition... more...

Physics notes for the broken balance of 4.5 billion years

The planet Earth is composed by living creatures as well as non-living elements like rocks, water, air, etc. All parts are connected and interact with each other. There are many ways of interaction, and many of these interactions are critical for survival. For example, one category of interaction is... more...

Optimal Painting Distribution for Museum Storage

An Innsbruck based museum, contact us to optimize the distribution of 3,299 paintings into their new storage facilities outside the city. The storage space is composed by an array of double side movable metal grid walls. The museum wants to optimize the painting arrange distribution on the walls to... more...

Data Visualization

Data visualization consists in communicate raw data clearly and efficiently to the user. Usually trough graphics like pie charts, curves, bars or any kind of visualization to helps the reader understand and analyze the data displayed. Working at IDOM I was assigned to design and develop a tool to... more...

Geometry Repairing for FEA Analysis in Extended Metal Panels

Expanded metal deployé is one of the most common solutions for cladding systems in architecture. The deployé mesh is manufactured from a cold flat metal surface. The metal sheet is cut following a precise pattern, then is pulled from their edges to crate the 3D pattern. An important manufacturer... more...

Estrategias Emergentes

Biomimética. (Biomimicry) – (Del bios = vida, y mimesis = imitar) Es una nueva disciplina de diseño que estudia los mejores ejemplos de la naturaleza y luego imita estos diseños y procesos para solucionar problemas humanos. El estudiar una hoja para inventar una mejor célula solar es un ejemplo de e... more...
