Early Stage Embodied and Operational Analysis for Guiding Sustainable Architectural Design Decisions
… (GHG) emissions and costs from both embodied and operational phases. The workflow addresses the early-stage uncertainty through random inputs with a Monte Carlo approach and implements surrogate models to accelerate the process for each iteration. The author's contribution to the workflow includes …
