A Systematic Review of Multi-Objective Optimisation Building Energy Retrofit, with a Focus on Hot-Humid Climate Regions

Energies
Globally, buildings are responsible for around 32% of energy consumption and 34% of greenhouse gas emissions. One reason for this is the poor energy efficiency of much of the current building stock.
