Definition of heuristic indicators for the design of overlapping block coordinate search structures - 2014

This is a dataset regarding some parametric explorations performed into the results of 59049 building performance simulations in order to study the inner workings of overlapping block coordinate search and define heuristic indicators suited to support the design of such search structures. The production of instances have been performed by the means of the OPTS program managing the ESP-r building performance simulation platform. A current and open source version of OPTS can be found (as Sim::OPTS, Perl module) at the address http://search.cpan.org/~glbrune/.This research has been published in the following article:Gian Luca Brunetti (2016). "Cyclic overlapping block coordinate search for optimizing building design". <i>Automation in Construction</i>. 7(2). 242-261. DOI: 10.1016/j.autcon.2016.08.014 <br><br>
