We develop a tool to help us to improve our projects in the Self-sufficient Building Studio. The project integrates architecture, form and sustainability gathered in one whole system. We want to integrate Grasshopper, Diva and Ecotect into this process to help us design according to energy. The goal is to calculate the amount of energy produced according to the form and location of every element in the building, so by that we can change and transform the form and see which one is the most appropriate response for a specific weather and energy conditions. At the same time we can use this system as a tool for any other project that can use this file and upload the form, change the latitude and longitud acoording to the location, and define a date and period of hours to calculate the energy produced in result we received values in (kwh) produced by the surface.
