The performance values can be scaled to any range of integer values using an Excel formula. Copying these values to the Components Layout Matrix will trigger a components generation process relative to the performance measurement.

For example, an accumulative solar radiation study of the façade can be used to define the components layout according to their solar performance (window size, glazing type, PV panels, etc). To demonstrate it, a set of parametric components named by a numeric value that indicate their opening factor is created. These components populate the façade point-cloud geometry based on the radiation study results by attaching the tabular form containing the results as a schematic layout for the component-population algorithm. This allows for a performance driven design process where the geometry of each design alternative is evaluated and populated with façade components according to the performance study.
