Intelligent Building Load Scheduling Based on Multi-Objective Multi-Verse Algorithm

In the multi-objective of intelligent building load scheduling, aiming at the problem of how to select Pareto frontier scheme for multi-objective optimization algorithm, the current optimal scheme mechanism combined with multi-objective multi-verse algorithm is used to optimize the intelligent building load scheduling. The update mechanism is changed in updating the position of the universe, and the process of correction coding is omitted in the iterative process of the algorithm, which reduces the com-putational complexity. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the optimal scheduling experiments of residential loads.

Based on the model, some data was analyzed and diagnosed by adopting Bayesian networks reasoning platform GeNIe. The result shows that the diagnosis effect is more comprehensive and reasonable than the other method.

Conceptual Issues in the Qualification of Intelligent Buildings

The reality of global warming must have been settled by now while the incidence of same has in very recent times adopted unprecedented dimensions. The global community continues to look for ways to combat the impact of climate change and technology is looked upon to deliver the innovations that would ensure a better tomorrow today. Rapid advancement of Information Technology (IT), is now transforming the way we create and interact with the built environment with the notion of Intelligent Buildings (IBs) underscoring its main features. However, these IBs utilize systems that require energy, and fossil fuels are currently the world’s primary energy sources;they can also irreparably harm the environment, exacerbating climate change. What then is the true essence of IBs? This paper, through review of existing literature, attempts to explore some issues associated with the conceptualization of IBs, highlighting how they are similar with other notional options that deliver the same benefits but without the needed IT systems or the energy required in running them. It also discusses the need to focus on less energy demanding and management approaches at design or occupancy of buildings as a way to reduce the demand and thus consumption of fossil fuels across the world.

Digital Restoration of Historical Buildings by Integrating 3D PC Reconstruction and GAN Algorithm

Historical architecture is an important carrier of cultural and historical heritage in a country and region,and its protection and restoration work plays a crucial role in the inheritance of cultural heritage.However,the damage and destruction of buildings urgently need to be repaired due to the ancient age of historical buildings and the influence of natural environment and human factors.Therefore,an artificial intelligence repair technology based on three-dimensional(3D)point cloud(PC)reconstruction and generative adversarial networks(GANs)was proposed to improve the precision and efficiency of repair work.First,in-depth research on the principles and algorithms of 3D PC data processing and GANs should be conducted.Second,a digital restoration frameworkwas constructed by combining these two artificial intelligence technologies to achieve precise and efficient restoration of historical buildings through continuous adversarial learning processes.The experimental results showed that the errors in the restoration of palace buildings,defense walls,pagodas,altars,temples,and mausoleums were 0.17,0.12,0.13,0.11,and 0.09,respectively.The technique can significantly reduce the error while maintaining the high-precision repair effect.This technology with artificial intelligence as the core has excellent accuracy and stability in the digital restoration.It provides a new technical means for the digital restoration of historical buildings and has important practical significance for the protection of cultural heritage.

Integrated Building Envelope Design Process Combining Parametric Modelling and Multi-Objective Optimization

As an important element in sustainable building design, the building envelope has been witnessing a constant shift in the design approach. Integrating multi-objective optimization (MOO) into the building envelope design process is very promising, but not easy to realize in an actual project due to several factors, including the complexity of optimization model construction, lack of a dynamic-visualization capacity in the simulation tools and consideration of how to match the optimization with the actual design process. To overcome these difficulties, this study constructed an integrated building envelope design process (IBEDP) based on parametric modelling, which was implemented using Grasshopper platform and interfaces to control the simulation software and optimization algorithm. A railway station was selected as a case study for applying the proposed IBEDP, which also utilized a grid-based variable design approach to achieve flexible optimum fenestrations. To facilitate the stepwise design process, a novel strategy was proposed with a two-step optimization, which optimized various categories of variables separately. Compared with a one-step optimization, though the proposed strategy performed poorly in the diversity of solutions, the quantitative assessment of the qualities of Pareto-optimum solution sets illustrates that it is superior. © 2016, Tianjin University and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Employing Computational Intelligence to Generate More Intelligent and Energy Efficient Living Spaces

Our living environments are being gradually occupied with an abundant number of digital objects that have networking and computing capabilities. After these devices are plugged into a network, they initially advertise their presence and capabilities in the form of services so that they can be discovered and, if desired, exploited by the user or other networked devices. With the increasing number of these devices attached to the network, the complexity to configure and control them increases, which may lead to major processing and communication overhead. Hence, the devices are no longer expected to just act as primitive stand-alone appliances that only provide the facilities and services to the user they are designed for, but also offer complex services that emerge from unique combinations of devices. This creates the necessity for these devices to be equipped with some sort of intelligence and self-awareness to enable them to be self-configuring and self-programming. However, with this ＂smart evolution＂, the cognitive load to configure and control such spaces becomes immense. One way to relieve this load is by employing artificial intelligence （AI） techniques to create an intelligent ＂presence＂ where the system will be able to recognize the users and autonomously program the environment to be energy efficient and responsive to the user＇s needs and behaviours. These AI mechanisms should be embedded in the user＇s environments and should operate in a non-intrusive manner. This paper will show how computational intelligence （CI）, which is an emerging domain of AI, could be employed and embedded in our living spaces to help such environments to be more energy efficient, intelligent, adaptive and convenient to the users.
