DESCRIPTION:Dr.-Ing. Philipp Geyer Bauhaus\, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar\n
 Abstract\n\nBuildings cause a major part of world population's energy cons
 umption and thus bear high responsibility for global warming. This calls f
 or performance-oriented building design aiming at the development of desig
 n configurations with low resource consumption and emissions. The talk the
 refore presents a method for parametric systems modelling (PSM) in buildin
 g design and urban planning supporting performance-oriented design by syst
 ems engineering. The approach uses the Systems Modelling Language (SysML)\
 , which is a common diagram language of systems engineering\, and describe
 s use cases\, requirements\, system structures\, activities\, item flows (
 energy and material) and parametric performance evaluations of artefacts o
 f the building domain. The method extends existing parametric modelling me
 thods in architecture\, which are strongly geometry focused\, in two respe
 cts: First\, it leads to a multidisciplinary model overcoming geometric li
 mitations. Second\, it not only addresses the parametric variation of a st
 atic model structure but also includes the development process of the syst
 em structure by applying systems engineering in a requirement-driven and d
 esign-oriented way. This allows to explore the full potential of performan
 ce-oriented design.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nPhilipp Geyer is researcher an
 d lecturer at the Chair of Information Technology in Civil Engineering of 
 Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. His research area is sustainable building des
 ign supported by intelligent computer modeling and simulation. Currently\,
  he conducts research on performance-oriented design by systems modeling a
 s research fellow at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. He hold
 s a Dipl.-Ing. in architecture and a Dr.-Ing. (PhD) in building design and
  engineering from Berlin University of Technology. In his doctoral researc
 h\, which he partly conducted as visiting scientist at Massachusetts Insti
 tute of Technology\, he developed a method for applying Multidisciplinary 
 Design Optimization in building design. This approach adapted methods from
  aerospace engineering and developed them further for supporting decision 
 making in performance-oriented building design. Furthermore\, he is respon
 sible for system design\, optimization and construction in the research en
 terprise Watergy. This enterprise develops innovative energy and water sys
 tems for sustainable buildings and greenhouses\, which provide heating and
  cooling as well as water regeneration.
