title	Design support via simulation of building and plant thermal interaction

summary	Design decision support related to building energy consumption and/or indoor climate should be based on an integral approach to the environment, the building, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, and the occupants. The tools to achieve this are now available in the form of computer simulation systems which treat the building and plant as an integrated dynamic system. Although its potentials reach beyond the area of Computer Aided Building Design, the paper describes building and plant energy simulation within the context of CABD, design decision support and design evaluation. Currently, computer simulation is only used indirectly as a design decision support mechanism; that is, its power is not delivered very efficiently to the design profession. This paper suggests some future research directions. These are aimed at providing a mechanism to overcome this problem by developing an intelligent front end' which bridges the gap between sophisticated computer simulation tools and the design profession.

summary	The paper describes the new organization of computer-aided design courses at the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology. The main characteristics of the new organization are emphasis on both technical skills and methodical knowledge, and a wide spectrum of subjects and applications distributed in the thematic structure of the first and second years. As a representative of the new courses the paper outlines Schematic Design, the first computer course in the second year.
