Multi-objective optimization of window optimization design for elderly care buildings in cold regions—Taking institutional elderly care buildings in Jinan area as an example
Window design in elderly care buildings is crucial for improving the indoor thermal environment,ventilation,and lighting conditions.Parametric modeling and a multi-objective optimization evaluation system are effective strategies to optimize building window design.This study is based on the analysis of natural lighting performance and window solar radiation in elderly care buildings.With window width,height,and sunshade width as design variables,a parameterized environment modeling platform and multi-objective performance optimization plugin are applied to design the optimal solution for southbound windows of standard units for different categories of elderly people's homes.The results indicate that the optimal window design for single occupancy rooms includes a width of 3.70 m,height of 1.65 m,and a sunshade width of 1.05 m.For muti-occupancy rooms,the optimal design features a window width of 5.75 m,height of 2.25 m,and a sunshade width of 1.15 m.This multi-objective optimization methods,a set of solutions for window design in elderly homes can be obtained,providing reference for window design and indoor environment optimization in elderly care buildings in the Jinan area.
