17. Conclusions up to now • Connection works! • The first simple calculations are possible • Connection works for any 3D (IFC) design Introduction Methodology Results Conclusions Discussion

18. Future work? Support consumers • When should (Energy and Comfort) scores be available? • Are the changes in the design actually noticeable in the scores? • Advice possible without interaction between prototype and consumer? Support architects • Call for intermediate testing? • Are architects experienced enough to enrich the IFC model? Introduction Methodology Results Conclusions Discussion
