Green Building: Energy Efficiency Optimisation Strategies using MATLAB

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper explores the integration of optimization techniques in the realm of green building construction, aiming to minimize environmental impact while maximizing resource efficiency. With the pressing need to mitigate climate change and reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry, the study investigates various methodologies for optimizing the design, materials, and processes involved in sustainable building practices. The paper delves into the core principles of green building, emphasizing the importance of energy efficiency, renewable resources, and innovative construction techniques. It analyzes the application of optimization models, such as life cycle assessment (LCA), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and parametric design, in streamlining decision- making processes throughout the building life cycle. Moreover, the research assesses case studies and real-world implementations of optimization strategies in green building projects across different geographical locations and scales. It examines the economic feasibility, environmental benefits, and social impacts of these strategies, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to sustainable construction. By synthesizing existing knowledge and exploring novel approaches, this paper aims to provide insights into the role of optimization in advancing the goals of green building, ultimately contributing to the creation of more ecofriendly and resilient built environments
