The work is based on an assessment of current schemes, augmented by the views of professional designers specializing in education buildings. Sensitivity analysis and transient building simulation using ESP-r are used to identify robust and sensitive parameters, with the robust parameters being fixed in the outline design, while the sensitive parameters remain open for later fine-tuning.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBuilding performancedesign practiceoutline scheme developmentpre-designschoolsArticle10.3763/aedm.2008.00922-s2.0-735491228101643Q11535WOS:000213067500004N/A
