It would be useful to be able to visualize these relationships and the effects of a change to one on all the others,perhaps at a schematic stage in order to reach an optimal solution, preferably in real time, sure thats not possible at the moment without a super computer but there is no doubt that ability will be on our desktop before long. If I make a change to the glazing for example, how is lighting, heat transmission, acoustics etc effected, or a change to the geometry etc, etc when real time analysis is a reality, the ability to represent these relationships will be key...
