Buildings external walls and windows effective selection by applying multiple criteria method

Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop and implement a methodology for multi- objective optimization of external walls and windows ratio selection in the building. After heat losses in the buildings according to windows and walls various measurements variations assessment and calculations, Multi- Objective Optimization on the basis of the Ratio Analysis (MOORA) method was selected. This method focuses on a matrix of alternative responses on the objectives. A case study demonstrates the concept of multi- objective optimization of buildings design alternatives and the best building design alternative is determined.
