An integrate knowledge-based system for passive design of buildings |
| Abstract |
CAAD systems are evolving to incoporate knowledge based processing techniques to address the ill-structured nature of the architectural design process. A passive design process model which is based on the I.P.T (Information Processing Theory) and designers' cognitive behaviors is presented.The role of knowledge based program in addressing passive design problems is discussed also.The conceptual architecture of a system environment for use in building integrated passive design CAAD system (KBPDS) is also presented. This architecture is structured on the basis of the blackboard model of problem solving and a distributed network of knowledge based processing components. |
