Leveraging Computational Design in the Realm of Occupancy Evaluations

ZGF Architects is leveraging innovative computational design tools to simulate occupancy flows within its projects in the design phase, as well as record and analyze occupant satisfaction and comfort well after a building has been built. 

Across the firm, ZGF has found great value in computational design tools and their ability to process complex data sets, relate data sets to physical or digital space, and convey complex data in visually appealing and informative ways. 

Dane Stokes, Design Technology Specialist with the design giant, discusses how this approach has allowed ZGF to refine its design process, optimize building performance on an ongoing basis, and collaborate more efficiently with clients.
