Buildings are accountable for nearly 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Their overall efficiency is thus a major pillar to optimize energy consumption and mitigate engendered warming. The current work takes part in this dynamic. Indeed, we developed standalone decision-aid tool based on sensitivity analysis, multiobjective optimization, artificial neural networks design new generation ener...
