The advanced development of pedestrian-flow simulations enables Architects and En-gineers in cases, which are difficult to calculate by conventional manual calculation methods, to proof if a building fulfils its fire-safety-requirements. However, these sim-ulations are most times conducted in the later in a buildings’ design phases, since the manual creation of such simulations is labour intensive and costly. Recent studies though have proven the beneficial impact of early stage simulations. Thus, this thesis examines the development of a concept and implementation of an automated creation of “Early Stage Pedestrian Simulation”. The field of Energy Management, where such concepts have already been developed, functions as prime example and basis for the research concept. As a case-study, the thesis’ concept is developed for the pedestrian-flow simulation “crowd:it”.     «
