Building performance analysis supported by GA

A neural tree structure is considered with nodes of neuronal type which is a Gaussian function and it plays the role of membership function. The total tree structure effectively works as a fuzzy logic system having system inputs and outputs. In this system the locations of the Gaussian membership functions of non-terminal nodes are unity so that the system has several desirable features and it represents a fuzzy model maintaining the transparency and effectiveness while dealing with complexity. The research is described in detail and its outstanding merits are pointed out in a framework having transparent fuzzy modelling properties and addressing complexity issues at the same time. A demonstrative real-life application of this model is presented and the favourable performance for similar applications is highlighted.
