BUILDING DESIGN OPTIMISATION FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY ON HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING (HPC) SYSTEM

Abstract

Nowadays, to adapt necessities of building performance modelling, simulation
tools have been developed to calculate building energy consumption following
modification of passive designs, occupancy, operating schedules and weather
conditions. However, building energy models are multi-physical problems
therefore they, especially optimal problems, require high performance computation
and long calculation duration. This paper describes the research of Genetic
Algorithms using through jEPlus+EA software to optimize the design of an office
building for minimizing cooling and heating demand. The optimal problem was
performed on a high-performance computing system in High Performance
Simulation and Calculation Laboratory, HaUI Institute of Technology.
