Abstract :

Abstract - Based on the study of the theoretical foundations of the research, it is determined that so far there is no detailed study on heating and cooling energy related to zero-energy buildings in the recent research based on energy waste in buildings. Therefore, in this article, by simulating commercial buildings and simulating the correct materials and strategies in the heating and cooling system, as well as investigating the insulation of buildings, we will study the effect of zero-energy building materials on energy wastage to model the temperature variations in building and control to achieve desire value. This article, taking into account the effects of heat transfer through building walls, the energy consumption model, and by genetic algorithm model predictive control (MPC) method optimizes the indoor temperature of the building. For this purpose, the genetic algorithm is used to determine the best control input in the form of building heating. The simulation of this process has been done in MATLAB software and the method of modeling heat loss and temperature change outputs shows that the proposed method has a good performance. The maximum of overshoot of the temperature is %4 and the cost function of GA algorithm is 165 based of minimum control effort and temperature error.
