Abstract
Various engineering designs are multi-objective as they contain more than one design goal to be optimized. These design goals theoretically inflict differing requirements on the technical performance of system design. To analyze the trade-offs amongst conflicting design’s multi-objectives and to explore respective design options, an optimization problem with multi objectives has been mathematically modeled in this paper. In the present work, multi-objective optimization of air conditioning conduits and nets design is formulated. The design factors also consider the cultural as well as quantifiable, subjective ergonomics constraints and control decision-making factors. The cultural constraints, such as geographical, historical, sociological, and organizational constraints that determine the efficiency of the design of these nets are also incorporated in the objective function. This is reproduced during the option of filtration and selection from the solutions population generated at the locals and other levels, in which influences of cultural factor and of the decisions making factors are reflected in the subjective preferences.
