The Use of Genetic Algorithms for a Net-Zero Energy Solar Home Design Optimisation Tool

چکیده
The application of computerised optimisation techniques to the design of low and netzero energy buildings would provide building designers with a powerful design tool. This paper presents such a tool that is being developed that links TRNSYS energy simulation with an optimisation program based on genetic algorithms. This early design stage optimisation tool optimises 17 parameters including building width to length ratio, heating system type, solar thermal collector type and size, window sizes by orientation, and more, to find multiple design configurations that achieve a set energy consumption target.
