Parametric-based distribution duct routing generation using constraint-based design approach

In this paper, we present a generative design approach using constraint-based programming to handle the duct routing for ceiling mounted fan coil systems in buildings. This work utilises and builds on the result from previous approach using case-based reasoning and constraint satisfaction problem to deal with the space configuration of complex design problems for ceiling mounted fan coil systems in buildings. In this work, our approach automates the distribution routing using constraint-based approach. Comparatively to previous work, the system we have developed generates parametric-based models where further interactive modification and interaction is made possible for the end user. This approach has been tested in real case scenario working with our industrial partners.
