[0028] The final score is calculated according to formula 8: (8) Where, Design satisfaction for ventilation; 、 and are the weights of energy efficiency, environmental comfort and space cleanliness respectively.

[0029] The prediction function of the back-propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) is used to build the agent model, see Figure 2 The input parameters include ventilation volume, air inlet opening area, and fresh air temperature, and the output results are energy efficiency, comfort, and cleanliness. The sample set consists of samples obtained using Latin hypercube sampling and is divided into a training set and a test set in a ratio of 7:3. The training set is used to train the BPANN agent model, while the test set is used to evaluate the model's accuracy and generalization ability. The hidden layer H can be determined by trial and error: (9) Where H is the number of hidden layer nodes; is the number of nodes in the input layer; is the number of nodes in the output layer; An integer between 1 and 10.

[0030] A genetic algorithm (GA) is used to determine weights and biases to avoid the problem of network training falling into local optimality. First, a set of weights and biases are randomly selected, and the individual with the highest fitness is selected for inheritance by calculating the fitness value. This process is repeated until the error requirement is met. The definition of the fitness value F is shown in formula (10). Figure 3 It can be seen that the predicted values ​​are consistent with the actual values, which shows that the proxy model is accurate.

[0034] Furthermore, the TOPSIS method is used to identify the ideal solution from the Pareto solutions obtained by NSGA-II multi-objective optimization. The TOPSIS method involves constructing a performance matrix ,in , represents the number of individuals in the Pareto solution set, , represents the number of objective functions in the set. In addition, by The normalized value and weight matrix Combined, a new performance matrix can be created The weights are calculated using the entropy weight method.

[0035] The principle of TOPSIS method is shown in equations (12) to (14): (12) Where PIS and NIS are the best ideal solution and the worst ideal solution, respectively.

[0036] (13) Where, and are the Euclidean distances of the Pareto solution from the optimal ideal solution and the worst ideal solution, respectively.

[0037] (14) Where, is the relative closeness of the Pareto solution, which is a number between 0 and 1. , represents the optimal solution.
