Modular approach to multi-objective environmental optimization of buildings
The application of heuristic algorithms with life cycle assessment (LCA) is a promising approach to efficiently optimize the building and minimize the environmental impact even in a very large design space. Through the optimization, significant environmental savings of 60–80% were achieved compared to the initial design options showing the potential for the application of such...
