A Pareto-based multi-objective optimization algorithm to design energy-efficient shading devices

•We present a multi-objective optimization algorithm for shading design.•We combine Harmony search and Pareto-based procedures.•Thermal and daylighting performances of external shading were considered.•We applied the optimization process to a residential social housing in Madrid. In this paper we ad...
