Abstract:
Performance attributes such as energy use or natural ventilation are
becoming rapidly more important in the design of modern build-
ings. As a basis for the improvement of existing visualization tech-
niques in this application domain, we provide a detailed tasks and
requirements analysis using feedback from an architect. State-of-
the-art visualization strategies used for building performance sim-
ulation results are then evaluated by comparing them to the quality
aspects derived before. This assessment specifically reveals short-
comings with respect to the applied techniques for visualizing spa-
tiotemporal data. Therefore, we discuss the potential of utilizing
other visualization techniques to meet the identified prerequisites
and reveal future directions based on these findings.
