Influence of the uncertainties of occupant behavior on computer-based optimization processes

摘要

Optimization algorithms like the genetic algorithm (GA) have been used for computer-based building design decision support methods in the last decade. However, the robustness and reliability of the results of these optimization processes have not been quantified. Furthermore, the influence of input parameters with uncertainties, like the occupant behavior on the results of a building optimization process, has not been evaluated.
