Discover how we can use technology to gain a smarter, safer, & more sustainable AEC industry in this 4-part video series! In this series, you’ll learn how your organisation can become more energy efficient through the introduction of sustainable building practices. We’ll cover four key topics that you’ll not want to miss!

These include:
1. Building Positioning with Generative Design
2. Light Distribution with Revit Generative Design
3. Airflow Calculations with Dynamo
4. Solar Analysis with Dynamo

Episode two dives into the contemporary concept of generative design for analysing light distribution, where we’ll discover how this can help expand the way we analyse light fixture layouts for building designs.

Using generative design to distribute light can reduce energy consumption, aiding sustainability and minimising carbon footprint. Not only does this increase efficiency by reducing operational costs, but it also creates an atmosphere that enhances human well-being and productivity.

Generative design can influence the capabilities of algorithmic artificial intelligence to optimise light distribution. It considers an array of factors depending on what data is gathered and what functions are asked with these including host & linked model geometry, external light source, and room areas.

Generative design can enhance performance and innovation, and sustainable manufacturing can benefit the environment.

Pentagon can help you leverage generative design capabilities, train your team on how to use generative design for Revit effectively & assist you with implementing generative design into your existing workflows. We also help customers set up efficient collaboration and data management processes whilst implementing this data to use Generative design.

With over two decades of experience, Pentagon’s consulting services can help your customers optimize their design workflows using Generative Design, with this including workflow analysis, customization, and integration with other technologies.
