Digitilisation in solar architecture compressed shortcut (Cs) tool usage, investigation in a residential building in Ankara, Türkiye

Solar-oriented architectural design is an emerging architectural approach to high energy consumption in buildings. The digital technologies used in this approach allow designers to test the performance of the building simultaneously by providing all the conditions of the design space parametrically. In this study, Compressed Shortcut (CS) tools, which are developed as an easy and fast solution to reach the optimum result in solar energy efficiency-oriented design approaches, are used. These tools are analyzed on a residential building in Ankara. Rhinoceros - Grasshopper and Ladybug plug-in programs were used as a method. As a result, the usability of the CS tools applied with the developed digital tools has been demonstrated as a method that enables the designs to be in optimum energy in a very fast and easy way.
