Multi-objective optimization of a nearly zero-energy building based on thermal and visual discomfort minimization using a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II)

•We use a procedure to support the design of a nearly zero-energy house in the Mediterranean climate.•We use optimization software to minimize long-term thermal and visual discomfort.•Programming codes have been developed to calculate long-term thermal discomfort indices.•General design good practic...
