• Title: Predicting and Optimizing for Energy Efficient ACMV Systems: Computational Intelligence Approaches
• Authors: Deqing Zhai and Yeng Chai Soh
• Abstract summary: Two optimization algorithms are proposed and evaluated under two real cases (general offices and lecture theatres/conference rooms scenarios) in Singapore. Based on our earlier studies, the models of energy consumption were developed and well-trained through neural networks. The best energy saving rates (ESR) of BGPO and AFA are around -21% and -10% respectively at energy-efficient user preference.

• Abstract: In this study, a novel application of neural networks that predict thermal comfort states of occupants is proposed with accuracy over 95%, and two optimization algorithms are proposed and evaluated under two real cases (general offices and lecture theatres/conference rooms scenarios) in Singapore. The two optimization algorithms are Bayesian Gaussian process optimization (BGPO) and augmented firefly algorithm (AFA). Based on our earlier studies, the models of energy consumption were developed and well-trained through neural networks. This study focuses on using novel active approaches to evaluate thermal comfort of occupants and so as to solves a multiple-objective problem that aims to balance energy-efficiency of centralized air-conditioning systems and thermal comfort of occupants. The study results show that both BGPO and AFA are feasible to resolve this no prior knowledge-based optimization problem effectively. However, the optimal solutions of AFA are more consistent than those of BGPO at given sample sizes. The best energy saving rates (ESR) of BGPO and AFA are around -21% and -10% respectively at energy-efficient user preference for both Case 1 and Case 2. As a result, an potential benefit of S$1219.1 can be achieved annually for this experimental laboratory level in Singapore.

  The Firefighter Optimization (FFO) algorithm is a new hybrid metaheuristic for optimization problems. To evaluate the performance of FFO, extensive experiments were conducted, wherein the FFO was examined against 13 commonly used optimization algorithms. The results demonstrate that FFO achieves comparative performance and, in some scenarios, outperforms commonly adopted optimization algorithms in terms of the obtained fitness, time taken for exaction, and research space covered per unit of time.
