Abstract

This study presents a multi-objective optimum design method for reliable indoor humidity environments based on the appropriate use of moisture-conditioning materials. In this paper, (1) a transient prediction of indoor air temperature and humidity in a model living room is developed by employing indices for the contribution ratio of indoor climate (CRI _(C) and contribution ratio of indoor humidity (CRI _(H)), and (2) an optimal design method is developed using multi-objective genetic algorithms (MOGA) and the transient prediction above. In order to confirm the validity of the proposed optimum design system, a conventional model living room with a number of moisture sources is set up as an analytical target and the optimum amount and arrangement of moisture-conditioning materials as design parameters are analyzed to achieve a reliable environmental design for indoor humidity. As a result, optimal solutions are obtained by means of MOGA and the effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated for designers.
