Abstract
The
poster
will
outline
the
dynamic
simulations
tools
developed
in
the
building
industry
during
the
last
two
decades
for
integrating
knowledge
of
indoor
climate
and
energy
in
early
phases
of
a
building
design
and
give
a
brief
up
date
of
the
present
quest
to
include
and
integrate
information
from
urban
environment
climatic
conditions,
broad
multi-‐criteria
sustainability
certification
in
early
design
phases
aiming
a.o.
at
meeting
the
obligations
defined
by
smart
cities
challenges.
Civil
and
Environmental
Engineering
has
special
challenges
concerning
design
processes.
These
design
projects
are
always
influenced
by
their
location
and
the
topography
(be
it
natural
or
manmade),
climate,
etc.
This
means
that
each
project
is
unique
and
must
be
viewed
in
its
own
right.
This
reduces
the
benefits
of
mass
production
and
standardization
that
are
so
heavily
emphasized
in
mechanical
design
and
manufacturing.
This
also
means
that
design
theories,
tools,
and
techniques
cannot
be
adopted
directly
from
other
design
disciplines
such
as
product
design
where
different
solutions
can
be
developed
for
each
individual
or
group.
The
natural
environment
has
dynamic,
unpredictable,
and
sometimes
chaotic
properties
and
behavior.
This
is
more
true
than
ever
when
considering
the
challenge
of
climate
change.
The
requirements
and
behavior
of
the
human
users
also
vary
in
time.
To
meet
these
challenges,
Civil
and
Environmental
Engineering
projects
must
be
designed
to
be
flexible
so
they
can
adjust
for
temporary
changes
in
natural
or
human
conditions.
They
must
also
be
adaptable
so
they
can
evolve
with
technology,
society,
and
the
environment.
The
recent
years,
increasing
application
of
renewable
energy
sources
put
extreme
pressure
onto
the
energy
grids
and
need
for
demands
side
management,
where
buildings
play
a
decisive
role
in
stabilizing
the
energy
demand
through
e.g.
thermal
storage
in
building
components.
Design
in
Civil
and
Environmental
Engineering
also
defines
the
reality
in
which
we
live,
work,
and
play.
Thus,
it
borders
other
fields
such
as
architecture,
landscape
design,
and
urban
planning
-‐
influencing
them
and
being
influenced
in
exchange.
The
design
of
sustainable
and
climate
adaptive
systems
and
structures
requires
a
very
high
level
of
information
in
all
of
the
design
phases.
Addressing
the
challenges
will
require
even
more
information
with
a
better
level
of
integration
than
is
currently
available
today
in
either
industry
or
education.
Interdisciplinary
design
methods
building
on
the
know-‐how
created
during
the
past
2
decades
is
at
the
fore.
How
can
we
better
integrate
the
knowledge
at
hand
in
Civil
and
Environmental
Engineering
in
interdisciplinary
design
processes?
