The BDSE will support building design from the initial schematic phases, through working drawings and specifications, to a building's construction, occupancy, and use. The BDSE will consist of imaging, simulation, and expert systems software, linked in a multimedia environment containing handbooks, product catalogs, and case studies. The structure of the BDSE is presented with emphasis on modeling the building design process and related knowledge. All BDSE modules will operate on three common hierarchical data structures that describe the building, its context, and its performance. The inter-relations among the BDSE modules are compatible with the iterative nature of the design process. An issue based information system (IBIS) will be used to fully record the design process so that it will be transparent and retraceable. Presentation of the structure of the expert system module emphasizes the identification, organization, and application of appropriate building design knowledge. Finally, methodology for acquiring knowledge to develop a prototype knowledge base for designing fenestration systems is presented, along with preliminary findings and future plans. 15 refs., 10 figs. 收起
