2

What is WinOpt ?Windows Optimization Tool .For the architects to make early design

decisions on the building to incorporate energy efficiency measures.

3

What WinOpt does ? Takes input from user. Finds out the most energy efficient

configuration for the building by performing optimal number of simulations .

Displays output in tabular and graphical form for analytics.

programming, bash script

6

Algorithms of WinOptA hybrid global algorithm that usesHooke-Jeeves algorithm – It can be run using

multiple starting points .

Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm – For the continuous independent variables to reduce computation time.
