Requirements of Integrated Design Teams While Evaluating Advanced Energy Retrofit Design Options in Immersive Virtual Environments

摘要: One of the significant ways to save energy use in buildings is implement advanced retrofits existing buildings. Improving performance through retrofitting requires a clear understanding cost and implications design alternatives from various engineering disciplines when different retrofit options are considered. The communication their essential decision-making process, as it affects final selections hence efficiency retrofitted objective research presented here was identify generic list information requirements that needed be shared collectively analyzed by integrated teams during review meetings held immersive settings. While identifying such requirements, authors used an environment based iterative elicitation approach. technology means better group. This paper provides findings on evaluating virtual environments. were identified interactions with sixteen experts modeling domain, validated another group participants consisting six who experienced processes. Industry practitioners can deciding what share team members utilize
