발견적해법과 유전알고리즘을 이용한 우체국 건물 에너지 최적화

In last year 2010, there was an energy saving design competition hosted by a South Korean government agency. In this design competition, important simulation parameters were given by the client such as density and schedule of lights, occupants, equipment, building operation, ventilation rate, the angle of blind slats, etc. Thus, the simulationists are not allowed to make a significant change to the original design of the building. The design options that the simulationists can propose are as follows: insulation thickness, location of blinds, addition of LED lights, and glazing type. In this paper, the practical heuristic approach based on experience, expertise and intuition with a whole building simulation tool, EnergyPlus, is discussed in comparison with the academic solution so-called a meta heuristic method derived from genetic algorithm in terms of the difference in energy savings, causes of those differences.
