== Abstract ==
Passive solar building design considers the effect that sun-
light has on energy usage. The goal is to reduce the need
for artificial cooling and heating devices, thereby saving en-
ergy costs. A number of competing design objectives can
arise. Window heat gain during winter requires large win-
dows. These same windows, however, reduce energy effi-
ciency during nights and summers. Other model require-
ments add further complications, which creates a challenging
optimization problem. We use genetic programming for pas-
sive solar building design. The EnergyPlus system is used
to evaluate energy consumption. It considers factors rang-
ing from model construction (shape, windows, materials)
to location particulars (latitude/longitude, weather, time of
day/year). We use a split grammar to build 3D models,
and multi-objective fitness to evaluate the multiple design
objectives. Experimental results showed that balancing win-
dow heat gain and total energy use is challenging, although
our multi-objective strategy could find interesting compro-
mises. Many factors (roof shape, material selection) were
consistently optimized by evolution. We also found that ge-
ographic aspects of the location play a critical role in the
final building design.
