“…In the model, each of those apartments is a thermal zone. The building is modelled in Modelica language using models issued from the BuildSysPro library, developed by EDF (Plessis et al 2014). The model features an ideal heating generator and will be upgraded in future work with realistic systems.…”

Multiobjective optimization is widely used in building physics but it has to face construction and regulation constraints to elaborate feasible solutions. This paper investigate how to integrate constraints in genetic optimization carried out with NSGA2 algorithm: it studies the implementation of constraints in the decision space and its impact on convergence speed and diversity in the optimization. The study was carried out on a 8 appartments building with three objective function to optimize: energy demand, comfort of the tenants and economic cost. As a result, convergence speed was improved and expert knowledge was included inside the decision space in a comprehensive way.

Energy consumption is a worldwide concern and improving insulation is a way to save energy in buildings. In Algeria about 42.7% of the total energy is consumed by residential sector. This study investigates the thermal behaviour of external walls used in buildings located in a chosen Algerian city under real climatic conditions. The transient heat conduction through a composite wall made of 3 or 5 parallel layers of different materials and thicknesses was numerically resolved. The equations system resolution was carried out by the finite differences method according to the Crank-Nicolson scheme. The outdoor temperature and the solar heat flux were approximated using analytic expressions, and were used as boundary conditions in the developed FORTRAN program. Simulations were performed for materials used in actual building constructions in Batna city as well as for materials proposed to improve insulation and an approach to define the costs of studied cases was developed. The results show that the actual way of construction gives poor thermal insulation. We proposed several technical solutions for new constructions as well as for the existing buildings to improve energy efficiency at lower costs.

“…ThermoSysPro (Hefni et al, 2011) is a library devoted to the modelling and simulation of power plants and energy systems. BuildSysPro (Plessis et al, 2014) is designed to be used in several contexts including building physics research, global performance evaluation, technology development and impact assessment. PlantSysPro is devoted to industrial processes like hot water system.…”

“…The system represents a district composed with 23 buildings (with only 2 adjoining walls) with inter-building long-wave radiation coupling and solar flux pre-processed per facade to account for shadings and reflections. These FMUs have been built with public components from the EDF BuildSysPro library (Plessis et al, 2014). It represents one of the four variants of a business case more deeply described in section 2.2.…”

This paper introduces the last evolution of Daccosim cosimulation environment, with Daccosim NG developed in 2018. Main features of Daccosim NG are described: enhanced Graphic User Interface and Command-Line Interface, algorithm and mechanism of co-simulation, coexecution shell, software architecture designed for both centralised and distributed architectures, aggregation of a co-simulation graph into a Matryoshka FMU, and declarative language to design large scale co-simulation graphs. A new industrial use case in simulation of energetic systems is also introduced, and first performances of Daccosim NG on multi-core architectures are analysed.
