Off topic: Examples of evaluation tools implemented

Hi everybody.

I'm currently finishing my thesis, and i need to document the use of evaluation tools in architecture. I've found examples of solar evaluation tools at both LAN architects and Ted Ngai's sites, but i was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of any completed projects where evaluation tools were used to inform the architects during the sketch phase. I need examples of where the quality of the solution was enhanced by using computational design.

Kind regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
One of the best "solar-airflow-acoustic-thermal-energy "evaluation tool is Ecotect which was designed for architects use specially at the first conceptual steps.

Hi Mohamed.

Thanks for the answer. I was more looking for example, where it was evident that tools like Ecotect or custom written evaluation scripts were used in practice. Any ideas?
