Abstract

 
Recently, mathematics has a wide influence on architectural design and
performance. It can effectively help in solving design problems and promoting
geometrical shapes efficiency. Consequently, the environmental performance has
also widely developed with the involving of advanced mathematical branches and
computational software. The main aim of the paper is to study the importance of
using mathematics in raising the
 
building’s environmental performance. Therefore,
the research methodology starts by clarifying the mathematics
 
branches and their
application in architecture, then carries out an analysis for different case studies that
used mathematics effectively in developing environmental performance. And lastly,
apply one of the mathematical optimization techniques on a virtual prototype to
illustrate how mathematics can effectively promote the
 
building’s environmental
efficiency.
