MOBO

MOBO A NEW SOFTWARE FOR MULTIOBJECTIVE BUILDING PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

This tools has been developed through the project "Optimal Multi-Objective Design of Integrated Renewable Energy Systems and Buildings" PI: Ala Hasan (ala.hasan(at)vtt.fi) funded by the Academy of Finland 2010-2015

Main features of MOBO

• MOBO is a generic freeware able to handle single and multi-objective optimization problems with continuous and discrete variables and constraint functions
• MOBO can be coupled to many external (simulation) programs
• It has a an extendable library of different types of algorithms (evolutionary, deterministic, hybrid, exhaustive and random)
• It is able to handle multi-modal functions and has automatic constraint handling
• The input is fed by a GUI for defining the optimization problem
• The user can write the input by algebraic formulas using standard symbols
• The output can be viewed by two graphs that show the progress of the optimization
• Allows parallel simulation
