Using Multi Criteria Analyses and BIM to evaluate design solutions of complex buildings A case study in automated KPI checking in the early desing phase
The overall objective of the EU supported ELASSTI C project is to improve security, safety and resilience of large scale mult ifunctional building complexes against natural and man made disasters. T his improvement is done by providing a methodology and tools which evaluate criteria of security, safety, as well as other criteria, and apply them t o early design concepts and therefore planning phase of such projects. The deve lopment of a decision support tool based on Multi Criteria Analysis was cr eated to facilitate this. Using this tool, designers and stakeholders can see imm diate impact and trade offs in design changes on the performance of the building. This paper is an explanation to the use of MCA tool and what the p ossibilities are regarding
