The research in project D02 focuses on the life cycle based analysis of the environmental impacts of adaptive envelopes and structures. Depending on the cause (e.g. wind), the loads on adaptive buildings are associated with different probabilities of occurrence, forces and durations, which consequently require a corresponding actuation. In addition to the actuation requirement, further energy requirements may be necessary, e.g. for heating, cooling, or ventilation. The increasing relevance of the utilization phase leads to an increasing amount and variety of information with varying quality and varying values. To map these relationships, the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) is applied as a methodological guideline and combined with the method of life cycle assessment to form a new approach.
