| Summary: | This paper presents a new approach to architecture and urban design that
results in an increase of the energy efficiency of buildings set close to
each other, which is set as the optimization problem. The main goal is to
maximize the sunlight impact on objects, in a way to minimize inter-object
shading on each building. The problem is solved by the PSO (Particle Swarm
Optimization) algorithm and its modifications, as well as the application of
PSO algorithm with niches, which makes it possible to find a large number of
local optima. It turned out that the PSO algorithm with niches is especially
suitable for solving the described problems. The proposed methodology is
illustrated by a few examples. |
