The objective function of the problem takes into account the following parameters: heat capacity, wall and window insulation pro-file, window sizes, losses due to ventilation, boiler and air conditioning system sizing, sizing of steel cross-sections as well as parameters related to the life cycle of the building. Modeling is based on acceptable from national and European regulations procedures. Optimization is solved us-ing evolutionary algorithms. The optimization problem is implemented on a steel building (10x15 m), in Chania, Greece. This is a first attempt to combine Life Cycle Cost and Optimization with classical Structural Optimization for steel structures. Depending on the requirements from the users of the building further evaluation using building energy management system (BEMS) for the intelligent op-eration and management of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) may be performed.
