[BLDG-SIM] Architects and building performance simulation

[smitagupta at attbi.com]

Hello All,

I have been reading the thread of discussion regarding architects and building 
simulation, over the past week and am very interested in the issues brought 
forward. Following on that track I would like to request the members of this 
bldg-sim mailing list to please take a moment and answer the simple survey as 
per your experience. In working towards my PhD research, I would like to find 
out the most typical and frequent questions that architects ask regarding the 
performance of their building when in the design stage. Please fill out the 
section relevant to your profession and email your responses to me at: 
smita at cmu.edu

You may include any number of questions that come to your mind.

Thank you for your time and effort.

Regards,

-Smita Gupta

Imagine that you are designing a building (you can think of your most recent 
projects) which has to take into account environmental performance criteria 
(such as energy use, daylighting, mechanical systems, acoustic etc.). 

If you had the opportunity to ask an expert in this field about improving your 
design, what would be the typical example of questions you would ask? (please 
be specific in your examples)

As building performance experts what are the questions that the architects most 
frequently ask you regarding the performance of their building design?
