Abstract
The current tendency of the population is to live in cities. This
behavior
added to the fact that the world population is still in
-
creasing, with a growth expectation of 1.3% from 2016 to
2050, highlights the necessity of increasing the number of
buildings in the world and, as a consequence, the increase of
house energy consumption. Nowadays the sector of the
computational de
-
sign is growing with a diversity of products
and scopes. The aim of this study is to use one of these
software to optimize
the characteristics of a house in order to
reduce the energy consumption of the place people live in,
work in and spend time in. The use of Grasshopper has
permitted to simulate the energy consumption of a house
located in Barcelona and thus to
optimize
it
s characteristics in
order to reduce its energy consumption, with a final reduction
of 2734kWh/year, which represents a reduction of 87.6%
between the non
-
optimized
house and the
optimized
one.
This
article
shows that it has been possible to use the new
co
mputational design software in order to reduce the energy
consumption of the studied house. The results obtained show
that this study can be used in future larger
-
scale projects in
order to reduce the energy consumption in the residential
sector.
