Integrated design optimization of novel photovoltaic envelope for buildings

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The research will couple the building integrated renewable application with traditional architectural passive design strategies. A new indoor environment quality index will be proposed as an objective function to be optimized together with the net building energy consumption. Surrogate models trained for each modelling software will be incorporated into the proposed optimization algorithm to improve the calculation efficiency and provide a convenient tool to assist sustainable building designs. In addition, significant urban context parameters will be incorporated to quantify their impact. Research findings will serve as significant guidance to effectively promote the application of the passive design in green building projects.
