Multi-objective programming model for energy conservation and renewable energy structure of a low carbon campus

Abstract School campus energy conservation design covers a wide range of contents; it is a complex control system and involves limited resource allocation. The purpose of this study is to formulate a decision model for energy conservation and renewable energy for campuses, by employing multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) and fuzzy two-stage algorithm to reduce CO 2 emissions. An empirical study was conducted using the campus of Chaoyang University of Technology as an example. Through a fuzzy two-stage algorithm, the non-inferior solution of a set of low carbon campus energy conservation design was obtained.
