Recent progress in computer science and stringent requirements of the design of “greener”
buildings put forwards the research and applications of simulation-based optimization …

Buildings all around the world consume a significant amount of energy, which is more or
less one-third of the total primary energy resources. This has raised concerns over energy …

Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods have become increasingly popular in
decision-making for sustainable energy because of the multi-dimensionality of the …

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques are gaining popularity in sustainable
energy management. The techniques provide solutions to the problems involving conflicting …

The paper reviews the evolution of computational wind engineering from environmental and
structural perspectives, since the inaugural conference of computational wind engineering …

This paper is concerned with the role of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) in assisting
with the creation of energy efficient habitats. It characterises achievements to date in a non …

Increase in use of renewable energy such as solar and wind has created challenges in
balancing load. Renewable energy intermittency can be addressed with different solutions …

In this study, a multi-fidelity shape optimization framework is proposed for the pedestrian-
level wind environment (PLWE). In the proposed framework, low-fidelity computational fluid …

The energy design of a building is often an activity of finding trade-offs between several
conflicting goals. However, a large number of expensive simulation runs is usually required …

Although evolutionary algorithms coupled with building simulation codes are often applied
in academic research, this approach has a limited use for actual applications of building …
