CI for living buildings

[afomi]

Continuous Integration is a key concept in modern agile system development.

CI functions as one level of automated quality assurance. Good CI systems give developers feedback at a higher system level, beyond the feedback an IDE gives.

In a building context, CI can show things like:

• adherence to design specifications
• adherence to known building codes
• exceeding energy thresholds
• narrow landings
• inconsistent buildings
• opportunities for improvement
• generated animations or screenshots

I'm drawn to the cycle of defining behavior, fulfilling the behavior, then refactoring as necessary/desired; and thus referencing the basic TDD loop.

Bingo #2

The major CAD programs have aspect like CI, but all proprietary and closed source - and not linable to outside programs,

We need to create a FOSS CI for buildings. I feel pretty certain that I can build little generator apps that could all be creating stuff on different machines and sending the edits to a server. Then you can take the data and test, price, schedule and merge and and share and so on.
