Energy consumption minimization and the lowest life cycle costs are two important factors in residential buildings. Therefore, to achieve the optimum shape with the best performance, a new optimization-simulation technique, called improved Emperor Penguin Optimizer coupled with a building energy simulation tool, called eQuest have been provided to choose optimum values of an all-inclusive list of criteria related to the envelope for minimization of the energy consumption of the residential buildings. Generally, the process of model optimization can take less computation time and cost. Also, the applied method carries out completely well comparing the particle swarm, approaching very near to the optimal in less than 50% of the simulations. Among different forms that have been evaluated in this paper, the trapezoid and the rectangle forms had better results with the fewest amount of the life cycle costs in all five various climate conditions. Also, considering the worst and the best alternation of the form, the trapezoid, and the rectangle showed the smallest value. The characteristics related to the building envelope analyzed were the types of foundation, different types of windows with various areas, the constructions of the roof and the wall, and the insulation of the ceiling and the foundation.

使用改进的帝企鹅优化器优化住宅建筑围护结构

能耗最小化和生命周期成本最低是住宅建筑的两个重要因素。因此，为了获得具有最佳性能的最佳形状，提供了一种新的优化模拟技术，称为改进的帝企鹅优化器，并提供了一个名为 eQuest 的建筑能源模拟工具，用于选择相关标准的全包列表的最佳值。以最大限度地减少住宅建筑的能源消耗。通常，模型优化的过程可以花费较少的计算时间和成本。此外，所应用的方法完全可以很好地比较粒子群，在不到 50% 的模拟中非常接近最优。在本文评估的不同形式中，在所有五种不同的气候条件下，梯形和矩形形式的结果更好，生命周期成本最少。此外，考虑到形式的最坏和最佳交替，梯形和矩形显示出最小值。与分析的建筑围护结构相关的特征是基础类型、不同面积的不同类型的窗户、屋顶和墙壁的构造以及天花板和基础的保温。
