Quake Innovation Center accepts AutoStudy

We are proud to inform you that AutoStudy is accepted into the Quake innovation center. With Quakes assistance AutoStudy will become a more intelligent and robust product. Quake does this by sharing its fast development and AI resources and promoting AutoStudy within the Oosterhoff companies.

“The challenges we face in the built environment require a new way of working. We must strive for the optimum design solutions where we minimize our carbon footprint and maximize comfort and health. The deep insights we gain by using Autostudy help us achieving our goals.”

Rudi Roijakkers
Director of Quake

Working together on AI

An important part of AutoStudy is its Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). Jaimy de Graaf (founder AutoStudy) says: “At first we used a naive implementation of EA but this proved not to be robust enough dealing with many constraints. Quake linked us up with Sjonnie Boonstra. Sjonnie had much experience with these algorithms while working on his PhD Thesis. By working closely with Sjonnie we found an algorithm that is robust and easy to use by our customers.”

AutoStudy within Oosterhoff

We have scheduled workshops within Oosterhoff that will lower the adoption barrier. During these workshops we will inspire Oosterhoff personnel to use AutoStudy. Connecting with Oosterhoff professionals allows us to learn from their experiences and improve AutoStudy step-by-step.
