Efficient and Robust Optimization for building energy simulation

June 15, 2016
Author(s)
Shokouh Pourarian, Jin Wen, Anthony J. Kearsley, Amanda Pertzborn
Efficiently, robustly and accurately solving large sets of structured, non-linear algebraic and differential equations is one of the most computationally expensive steps in the dynamic simulation of building energy systems. Here, the efficiency, robustness
