Abstract

Good natural ventilation can improve the comfort of campus dormitories and effectively avoid pollution caused by particle accumulation. Parametric design can effectively address the feedback and connection between building performance analysis and design. This study employs an architect-friendly digital design method based on the Rhino/Grasshopper parametric platform. It takes campus dormitories in the cold region as a case, using parameterized digital tools, such as the Butterfly plugin to simulate wind performance under three influencing factors: building layout, opening position, and building façade (shape and spoiler). Finally, the optimal design that can simultaneously meet the local winter and summer wind environment requirements is selected and validated. In addition, the reasonable design of external balconies and bathrooms in a dormitory can form buffer spaces to achieve effective wind shelter and insulation effects in cold regions. This article describes how to use digital tools to quickly and easily optimize the design of building forms based on wind simulations to promote campus sustainability.
