You are invited to enter a building design competition with a difference!
The purpose of the competition is to promote awareness of a new breed of
optimisation tools which can help with decision making at any stage of the
design process. These tools provide powerful techniques for identifying
optimal designs that meet potentially conflicting design requirements such
as minimising environmental impact while also minimising development costs
and at the same time satisfying constraints such as providing minimum levels
of occupant comfort and daylighting. 

The competition is organised by the ADOPT
<http://www.iesd.dmu.ac.uk/%7Eadopt/wiki/doku.php>  research group:
