Abstract
The present study propose a thorough approach to the optimization of the whole-life cost of a timber building focusing mostly on its mechanical, structural and energy subsystems for a life cycle of 20 years. Another parameter that is examined, is the effect of the fuzziness of the design temperature inside a building on its life cycle cost. The objective function of the energy performance optimization problem of the study is a cost function. The components of the timber frame are optimized according to Eurocode 5. Two scenarios for the management of the timber frame components at the end of the building's life cycle are examined.
