Abstract

Model-based building operation optimization can be used to reduce building energy consumption, so as to improve the indoor environment quality. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is one of the commonly used optimization algorithms for building applications. To provide readers up-to-date information, this paper attempts to summarize recent researches on building optimization with GA. Firstly, the principle of GA is introduced. Then, we summarize the literatures according to different categories, including applied system types and optimization objectives. We also provide some insights into the parameter setting and operator selection for GA. This review paper intends to give a better understanding and some future directions for building research community on how to apply GA for building energy optimization.
