Abstract
This paper introduces a new software developed for
building performance optimization. MOBO is a
generic freeware able to handle single and multiobjective
optimization problems with continuous and
discrete variables and constraint functions. It can be
coupled to many external (simulation) programs. It
has a library of different types of algorithms
(evolutionary, deterministic, hybrid, exhaustive and
random), and is able to handle multi-modal functions and
have automatic constraint handling. The input is fed by a
GUI. 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. A beta
version of MOBO is available for download and use.
