Possibilities and problems in applying Decision Support Systems for special challenges in the design of building constructions

摘要

The objective of this study is to examine the possibility of using DSS in the engineering design of aspecial group of building constructions: 'cladded roofs'. These are roofs whose cladding is the sameas the facade's, giving buildings a homogeneous appearance. For architectural impression the roofis made of unusual materials and complex structures thus cannot be designed with traditionalguidelines.The goal of using DSS is to facilitate and simplify the range of possible materials and structures, toassist and expedite finding the optimal version and to reduce the likelihood of design flaws. Inaddition to eco-efficiency in production, transportation, and energy consumption of buildings, wehold it to be important to reduce the amount of materials used to a necessary minimum. [1] Toachieve this all materials should be used at places where their specific characteristics prevail mosteffectively.
