“…Since this program lacks a graphical interface, to input data and to output results, the HoneyBee plugin in Rhino carried out both of these jobs more easily, and the Galapagos plugin performed the optimization. Many researchers have validated EnergyPlus [20,21] and used Rhino and its plugins [22][23][24].…”

Today's energy consumption is one of the most important causes of pollution around the world. Considering the building sector consumes the most energy, it should be seriously considered. In order to provide thermal comfort inside a building, energy is consumed, which can be managed using tools such as louvers that allow solar radiation to pass through the windows while reducing the amount of consumed energy. The goal of this paper is to find the optimal features for shading device of fixed louvers for the east, west, and south facades of the office building at Hakim Sabzevari University in terms of thermal efficiency using parametric analysis. For one year, three rooms on three floors of this building with window louvers at different depths, angles, and distances were thermally simulated with EnergyPlus software and the HoneyBee plugin in addition to the Galapagos plugin for optimization. Based on the optimized samples, it is possible to reduce the thermal energy consumption by 32.34%, 23.71%, and 30.2%, respectively using the ideal louvers on the east, south, and west facades. In terms of thermal efficiency, the distance between the blinds on the south facade and the angle between them on the east and west facades of a window louver are the most significant factors.

“…As a result, there are countless chances for information of the built environment to be extremely valuable [3]. BIM is an example of a built-environment information model that has emerged as a new stage in the expanded digitization of built-environment data in the expanded digitization of built-environment data in the architecture [12], engineering [13], construction [14] and facilities management (AECFM) business [4]. In this changing context, BIM can be utilized in a layered model to assist visualize and categorize the various elements, with a focus on how to best enable knowledge and ICT to enhance business services [15].…”

To achieve the potential of smart cities, there is a strong requirement to use a set of useful, but still accessible services within smart city systems. Interoperability challenges and roadblocks for software developers and integrators are well-known consequences of fragmented semantics across different contexts. Furthermore, in the smart city context, there is a need to ensure the security and identity of real-world services operating on this data through the adoption of access control principles (authorization and authentication). The use of ontologies to unify the diverse semantics of multiple domains is one strategy that has had considerable success in the past. This paper describes an access management ontology in smart cities developed to enable the interoperability of physical built environment assets, sensing and actuation devices and current built environment services with existing security standards, digital twin and Building Information Model (BIM) datasets. It also provides interoperability between user interfaces and the actors who use them in the context of establishing an access management in smart cities framework for the built environment. This has been validated through its implementation in the Cardiff Urban Sustainability Platform (CUSP), deployed to manage a variety of smart services on a university campus. This validation has successfully shown the ability of the ontology to function as intended in the context of a digital twin, thereby offering single sign-on and suitable access control.

“…Generally, most of the outcome of the application of GA in optimization is to increase the probability of consumer thermal comfort in naturally ventilated rooms [68] and air-conditioned rooms [69][70] in buildings in individual homes or a collective community [71]. Apart from natural or artificial ventilation, other considerations such as the control of daylight entering residential homes have been optimized by the use of genetic algorithm [72]. GA has been used in the optimization of energy required in charging and discharging of electric vehicles in residential homes [73].…”

Genetic algorithm (GA) is an example of evolutionary algorithms that are bio-inspired computational methods. GA has been applied to numerous fields. It has been applied in different aspects of construction and building but that is scarcely any review that documents it. The paper reviewed the application of GA in construction and building. It was revealed that energy management is the major area of application which are further subdivided into load scheduling, prediction, and optimization. Other nonenergy applications are pricing, environment, and construction design or real estate. The review presents research information to researchers. The information can assist in the optimization of construction processes which can reduce the construction time and costs, ensure optimal allocation and use of energy, prediction of energy demands and supply in houses and incorporation of sustainability in construction and management of real estate.
