Article Description

Increasing consumption of energy calls for proper approximation of demand towards a sustainable and cost-effective development. In this work, novel hybrid methodologies aim to predict the annual thermal energy demand (ATED) by analyzing the characteristics of the building, such as transmission coefficients of the elements, glazing, and air-change conditions. For this objective, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy-inference system (ANFIS) was optimized with equilibrium optimization (EO) and Harris hawks optimization (HHO) to provide a globally optimum training. Moreover, these algorithms were compared to two benchmark techniques, namely grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and slap swarm algorithm (SSA). The performance of the designed hybrids was evaluated using different accuracy indicators, and based on the results, ANFIS-EO and ANFIS-HHO (with respective RMSEs equal to 6.43 and 6.90 kWh·m·year versus 9.01 kWh·m·year for ANFIS-GWO and 11.80 kWh·m·year for ANFIS-SSA) presented the most accurate analysis of the ATED. Hence, these models are recommended for practical usages, i.e., the early estimations of ATED, leading to a more efficient design of buildings.
