Algorithmic massing optimization focuses on generating and evaluating multiple building form and layout options using parametric design tools to achieve the most efficient development potential and environmental performance. This service uses Rhino for Floor Space Index (FSI) utilization, building block configuration, and massing optimization, followed by detailed performance evaluation in IESVE through dynamic energy modelling. The workflow enables identification of the best-performing massing option based on criteria such as solar exposure, daylight availability, thermal performance, and energy efficiency while ensuring compliance with planning regulations.
