UNIVERSAL DESIGN SPACE EXPLORATION

While at SmithGroup, I received a grant to work with scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to prove that our Universal Design Space Exploration idea was feasible. Our work was published in the Journal of Building Engineering in 2022. Below is an excerpt from the introduction of our paper, which can be downloaded here.

Universal Design Space Exploration (UDSE) is a scalable approach to performance analysis that can provide detailed insights at the speed of design for all projects at little cost. UDSE improves the real-world applicability of Design Space Exploration (DSE) techniques by leveraging massive ‘‘universal’’ design spaces that encompass common design problems. These project-agnostic universal design spaces justify investment in ML-powered apps that make pre-simulated analysis accessible, affordable, and impactful across multiple projects.
