In the framework of the OPTISOL project, funded by the French Agency for Energy and
Environment (ADEME), a methodology for life cycle optimization during sketch or
refurbishment has been developed for professional building actors: architects, building
owners, designers, HVAC engineers… First, a French typology of tertiary buildings has been
created: partitioned and open space offices, hospitals, schools and nursing homes. Once done,
a proposal list of systems related to each building was developed. To minimise the number of
simulations and to establish a 15 parameters function providing energy consumptions for each
building with each system, in each climate, simulation experimental designs were used. The
methodology developed was implemented in a software tool to facilitate its use. Two options
are proposed to users: to perform the calculation of energy consumption, CO2 emission and
investment for chosen solutions or to perform different optimization calculations resulting in
technical proposals.
