Abstract:

By analyzing the model presented by J. E. Braun, the PSO algorithm and Matlab simulation tool were used to identify the parameters both in 2008 and 2100 under the condition of invariable cooling load. The model parameters are related to real physical ones, so it is possible to give out adjustment references of thermal parameters to stop the increasing energy consumption causing global warming.

Key words: global warming; cooling load; particle swarm optimization; design standards for energy efficiency of buildings; climatic regions of building energy efficiency
