Optimization of shape and functional structure of buildings as well as heat source utilization. Basic theory

The purpose of this paper was to illustrate the example of multicriteria optimization of the big blocks of flats. The method described in [Hwang and Masud (Multiple objective decision making—methods and applications—a state-of-art-survey. Lecture notes in economics and mathematical systems, Springer, Berlin, 1979)] and [Jendo and Marks (Archives of Civil Engineering 30(1) (1984))] is based on decomposition into part-problems: optimization of internal partitions of the building, the shape of building, heat sources, and finally adequate co-ordination of solutions. The above-mentioned co-ordination is obtained by an iterative method.
