Abstract

Improving passive design methods are important for achieving zero-carbon building (ZCB) targets. Data-driven design approaches are more accurate than conventional methods for multiple-objective optimization (MOO) targets such as carbon emissions (CE), economics, and thermal comfort. In this study, a comprehensive data-driven-based PSO-SVM-NSGA-III method that assists in optimizing passive design parameters are proposed. First, the simulation results for the objectives of CE, incremental cost (IC), and time not comfort (TNC) are performed for an office building in a cold region in China using EnergyPlus and jEPlus software. Then, key influencing factors are chosen via a sensitivity analysis. Second, nonlinear mapping relationships between the passive design parameters and objectives are established with the PSO-SVM model. Compared to the BPNN, SVM, and PSO-BPNN algorithms, the PSO-SVM model exhibits superior prediction performance, with R2 values of 0.977, 0.925, and 0.903 for CE, IC, and TNC, respectively. Third, the nonlinear mapping relationships are used in the established objective functions of NSGA-II and NSGA-III. NSGA-III performed 100 iterations within 21 min and exhibited robust diversity within its population, with a hypervolume value of 0.738. Finally, the Pareto-optimal solution set is formed with the PSO-SVM-NSGA-III framework. This data-driven method offers an efficient approach for improving building performance.
