On the performance of LCC optimization software OPERA-MILP by comparison with building energy simulation software IDA ICE

摘要

From an economic point of view, it is crucial to minimize the life cycle costs (LCC) of buildings undergoing energy renovations, hence an optimization approach is needed. Building energy use and power demand as well as energy efficiency measures are important issues while performing an LCC optimization. Thus it is of great importance to accurately predict the building energy use and power demand before and after energy renovation.
