Passive design optimization of newly-built residential buildings in Shanghai for improving indoor thermal comfort while reducing building energy demand
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the performance of a representative apartment building in the city of Shanghai and evaluated the optimum solutions by using a developed optimization approach, which includes three major steps of 1) setting the model for multi-objective optimization, 2) sensitivity analysis for reducing the dimension of input variables, and 3) multiorientive optimization by using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) coupled with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), among which a novel indicator for evaluating the annual indoor thermal comfort of residential buildings of Shanghai named Comfort Time
