Keywords: | Genetic Algorithm; Constructive System Optimization; Dynamic Simulation; Energy Efficiency | Issue Date: | 17-Dec-2016 | Project: | Ren4EEnIEQ (PTDC/EMS-ENE/3238/2014, POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016760, LISBOA-01-0145-FEDER-016760) | Serial title, monograph or event: | RESIM 2016: International Conference on Sustainable and Intelligent manufacturing | Place of publication or event: | Leiria, Portugal | Abstract: | Multiple design features, such as form, construction material type and thickness, and glazing type and area, affect the building’s energy consumption. In this work, a procedure was developed to reduce the energy consumption of alternative building’s geometries by optimizing their constructive system elements. The optimization procedure consists of a genetic algorithm that seeks to improve the opaque elements’ materials types and thicknesses and transparent elements’ type. The algorithm is then tested in a case study of a single-family house design program for which several floor plans were automatically created using a generative method. The performance of each candidate solution was carried out using dynamic simulation. The results shown that the developed tool was able to improve and find the near-optimum constructive system for each of the alternative building’s geometry. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/42532 | Rights: | openAccess |
