Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to develop an expert system for vertical transportation planning in high-rise office buildings. Components of the system, which are 'database/fact', 'explanation facilities', 'inference engine', and 'knowledge base', were actualized to construct an algorithm. The developed expert system will derive planning alternatives based on simple building information in the early design stage. Through this study, reduction of time in the process of designing high-rise buildings will occur and architects will be able to establish economic and efficient core plans. The developed expert system can support evaluating and selecting design alternatives economically and efficiently in the process of designing high-rise buildings.
