A building design aiding tool for space allocation and thermal performanceoptimization is being developed to help practitioners during the building spaceplanning phase, predicting how it will behave regarding energy consumption andthermal comfort. The tool evaluates, ranks, and optimizes generated floor plansaccording to thermal performance criteria, using the dynamic simulation programEnergyPlus. The tool is currently able to use a wide variety of EnergyPlusobjects, allowing for various template and detailed HVAC, DHW, and thermal andelectrical energy production systems and components, as well as numerousinternal gains types, construction elements and energy saving controls, to beaccounted for and simulated in the generated buildings. This paper presents thetool overall concept as well as the main features regarding dynamic simulation.Some performance results are presented for distinct systems to illustrate theuse and potential of the tool.
