Abstract

In order to support the usual enlargement of houses in developing countries and proper integration of renewable sources, this paper exposes a parametric design of attic with insulated timber boards and integrated solar panels. The proposal is based on urban map of solar potential available on-line (www.msc.ubiobio.cl), that for single houses suggest a solar attic customized to each dwelling shape and orientation, with industrialized timber construction elements. The calculation of optimal volume by house is developed with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) and dynamic simulation, which provides different buildings alternatives with digital manufacturing
