It is a good time to improve  skills. The road started aiming to construct building energy consumption program. It continues with deeper energy knowledge (themes, units, workflows, etc.) and mathematical equations such as neural networks and optimization algorithms. Day by day many professions goes through coding base artificial algoritms. Architecture discipline can not escape this general tendance. Directly it effects the discipline because of the collaborative workflow. As an personal idea, It was great decision to join MSTAS.2017. It was effective to learn computational discipline basics and understand my position as an architect because  my bachelor education constructed on design base education system because of the conventional architectural education background. This is not wrong but it needs to enlarge theoritical background and jump thhrough several new disicplines. I was complicated about learning coding and advanced energy learning, still sometimes think in a same way but MSTAS.17 shows that people waiting for innovation and risky attempts to move forward, to see new outcomes. You can see that my daily working preferences.

Before constructing ANN as program, I am planning to work with some grasshopper plugins that you can experiment ANN and optimization algortihms these are 'dodo' and 'crow'. These programs inventors also architects and they build this systems at master level it is good motivation for me to believe my aims. There is another possibility for ANN and energy, that is working with Matlab. Still it is decision right now but it is good to write at somewhere. For deep learning of Energy consumption as you can see I started to read Energyplus documents. EnergyPlus encourage architects and engineers to benefit from EnergyPlus database as I mentioned yesterday. For today that's all. Stay cool.

An Algorithm for Efficient Urban Building Energy Modeling and Simulation

-

Abstract: The urban population increases continuously since the industrial revolution, and the residential buildings have the primary responsibility for the total energy demand. There is a need for the analysis of the residential building stock for energy efficiency and sustainable planning. However, energy modeling and simulation in urban scale is expensive in computational complexity and time, due to various building geometries and occupancy types. This research proposes a method to increase the efficiency of the simulation process by reorganizing the building geometries with functional clustering and radiation analysis scaling. In order to accelerate the urban building energy modeling (UBEM) process, the building geometries are modified based on energy simulation standards, then, clustering is determined based on radiation analysis and outside boundary conditions. The candidates are selected according to the selection percentage that has been identified before the process to simul

How to modify a weather (EPW) file or create new ? Elements  is a free, open-source, cross-platform software tool for creating and editing custom weather files for building energy modeling. The goal of the project is to develop a comprehensive, integrated application suitable for handling all of the common tasks associated with weather files. link:  http://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/ How to modify a weather (EPW) file with other data? run the weather converter on the original file (Energyplus component) convert the file to "EnergyPlus CSV" (it exist in excel) open the EnergyPlus CSV file in your favorite spreadsheet program. (excel) make the mods, saving it as CSV from the spreadsheet program. run the weather converter again, this time selecting the CSV and make sure the File type is "EnergyPlus CSV" convert it to EPW. link :  http://bigladdersoftware.com/epx/docs/8-3/auxiliary-programs/energyplus-weather-file-epw-data-diction
