SUMMARY:

The development of quantitative methods to support decision-making in energy-efficient building design gained attention in the 1970s with the oil crisis and continues to be relevant for the rational use of resources and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Quantifying performance is necessary to verify conformity with standards or certifications and evaluate the impact of design decisions. The primary method for quantification is through computational simulations; however, there are several obstacles to their integration into the design process: simulations require building characteristics defined only at the end of the process; simulation times exceed the designers' tolerance; design space simulation requires high computational cost; there is no discrimination of characteristics by their impact on results; there is no control over result uncertainties and others. This master thesis aims to propose an approach to support design decisions regarding the impact on the energy performance of commercial building envelopes, compatible with the early stages of the design process. The scope is limited to hot and humid climates, and the performance is restricted to cooling loads. The proposal's conception is based on the literature review of the main obstacles and available solutions. The development begins by creating an information matrix corresponding to design spaces using Latin hypercube sampling, performance simulated by the INI-C metamodel, and sensitivity analysis using the Sobol method. Graphic interfaces with filters and graphical visualizations are developed for users to explore the design space. The approach is assessed in an academic context with its application in architectural design workshops with volunteer users. The partial results of the pilot study confirmed the approach's ability to enhance energy efficiency in architectural designs and reduce the time gap between design decisions and conventional quantification tools. Criticisms have led to improvements that will be tested in the coming months.
