Implementation of a genetic algorithm for energy design optimization of livestock housing using a dynamic thermal simulator

A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is an optimization process inspired by natural systems ability of surviving in many different environments through the mechanisms of natural selection and genetics. The pairing of GA-based optimization techniques with dynamic energy models is a common and effective practice...
