A NEW TOOL FOR DESIGNING COST EFFECTIVE LOW ENERGY HOUSES IN FRANCE

Serge Chardon, Emmanuel Bozonnet, Robert Montecot, Christian Inard

Abstract: This paper introduces a new integrated building optimisation tool for low energy cost effective house design. At this stage it contains an optimisation module coupled to a building regulation program for energy needs calculation. The final tool will comprise the optimisation of both cost, assessed by a program already used by several stakeholders in France, and energy performance. The full methodology is described in this paper and potential developments of the tool are discussed. A first single objective genetic algorithm is analysed based on the optimisation of a typical building case.
