OPTIMAL ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING DESING USING IMPROVED EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Considering energy efficiency and sustainable development on one side and economy aspects on the other, optimal building design has to meet two confronted demands: to minimize total cost of the construction and to minimize energy consumption, which is usually obtained by implementation of expensive insulation and equipment. This paper presents solving methodology using evolutionary algorithm improved by introducing the tabu search module and combined with EnergyPlus software. The results are demonstrated on the example of optimization of insulation materials and orientation angle of a given building, confirming that proposed methodology successfully meets design demands.

REZIME
Uzimajući u obzir energetsku efikasnost i održivi razvoj s jedne strane i ekononmski aspekt s druge, optimalno projektovanje treba da zadovolji dva suprotstavljena zahteva: da minimizuje cenu konstrukcije i da minimizuje potrošnju energije, što se uglavnom postiže primenom skupih izolacionih materijala i opreme. U ovom radu prikazana je metodologija za rešavanje datog problema primenom evolucionog algoritma poboljšanog modulom za tabu pretragu i kombinovanjem sa softverom EnergyPlus. Rezultati za primer optimizacije izolacionih materijala i ugla položaja date zgrade potvrđuju da prikazana metodologija ispunjava navedene projektne zahteve.
