Combination of Optimisation Algorithms for a Multi-objective Building Design Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, a combination between simulation and optimisation has been important for many of HVAC design problems. Long execution time is usually needed for one simulation run; consequently huge time will be required for the optimisation process. The aim of this study is to evaluate how combinations between optimisation algorithms can achieve faster and/or better solutions for multiobjective optimisation problems. Two optimisation approaches are suggested and tested for an HVAC-building optimisation problem. These approaches are based on combinations between two deterministic algorithms and a genetic algorithm using MATLAB environment. The results indicate that significant time could be saved by applying these approaches compared with using genetic algorithm alone.

PERFORMANCE-BASED MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR STEEL STRUCTURES WITH INTELLIGENCE ALGORITHMS
A multi-objective heuristic particle swarm optimiser (MOHPSO) based on Pareto multi-objective theory is proposed to solve multi-objective optimality problems. The optimality objectives are the roof displacement and structure weight. Two types of structure are analysed in this paper, a truss structure and a framework structure. Performance-based seismic analysis, such as classical and modal push...

Interactive Multi-Objective Optimisation is an increasing field of evolutionary and swarm intelligence-based algorithms. By involving a human decision, a set of relevant non-dominated points can often be acquired at significantly lower computational costs than with a posteriori algorithms. A rarely addressed issue in interactive optimisation is the design of efficient user interfaces and the ap...
