This paper reviews applications of multi-objective optimization approaches for design,
control, and the combination of both design and control of a single element or a set of …

Energy retrofit and renovation of existing buildings have an effective role in reducing carbon
dioxide emissions and ultimately global warming. Therefore, there is an increasing interest …

This paper proposes an efficient methodology for the simulation-based multi-objective
optimization problems, which addresses important limitations for the optimization of the …

Building retrofitting towards nearly zero energy building (nZEB) with comfortable visual and
thermal conditions, requires a comprehensive parametric analysis of building retrofit …

Worldwide, the residential buildings are consuming a considerable amount of energy. The
high potential of buildings towards energy efficiency has drawn special attention to the …

Energy efficiency is a mandatory requirement and integral part of green and sustainable
buildings. Energy efficient design optimization is both a design philosophy and a practical …

Buildings consume more than one-third of the world's primary energy. Reducing energy use
and greenhouse-gas emissions in the buildings sector through energy conservation and …

Nowadays building performance optimization is extended to urban planning Multi-Objective
Optimization (MOO). Most research focuses on the optimization of energy use and daylight …

Operational faults are common in the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
systems of existing buildings, leading to a decrease in energy efficiency and occupant …

The window-to-wall ratio (WWR), or the proportion of glazing in a building's envelope,
influences many design and performance aspects of a building across its life cycle, including …
