Boosting building renovation is urgently needed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Building retrofit can be achieved by energy-efficient measures such as thermal insulation or …

Building renovation is urgently required to reduce the environmental impact associated with
the building stock. Typically, building renovation is performed by envelope insulation and/or …

Building energy management usually involves a number of objectives, such as investment
costs, thermal comfort, system resilience, battery life, and many others. However, most …

In response to the European 2030 climate and energy policy framework and to satisfy
various stakeholders, trade-offs between different goals should be considered in the …

The multiobjective optimization problems (MOPs) under uncertain environments are very
challenging to be solved due to the sensitivities of some robust decision variables. To find …

Despite enormous advances in computer power, computationally costly models impede the
use of traditional optimization approaches that must be invoked repeatedly during the …

This study implements robust design optimization (RDO) of a self-centering viscous damper
in the presence of seismic uncertainty. The RDO minimizes the effect of random input …

This paper presents a nondeterministic kriging (NDK) method to approximate the response
of probabilistic systems with mixed continuous and discrete input variables. The proposed …

Purpose This study aims to propose a more precise method for robust design optimization of
mechanical structures with black-box problems, while also considering the efficiency of …

New challenges in shape optimization design under uncertainties lead to inspiration from
nature. In this paper, we choose trees as the inspiration resource and apply the axiom of …
