“…Primarily, studies consider: (i) planning task aiming to optimize the design, sizing, or layout of the facility or its subsystems/services, (ii) operation task, focusing on optimizing the performance of the facility operation in terms of control, regulation, and management. 50% of works using simulation-based optimization targeted planning such as [40,49,53,55,56] investigating the potential of RESs deployment for reduced energy costs, and [45,50,57,59] for system's layout and design. 40% were for operation tasks as in [42,43,46,48] for optimizing the operation of the facility services for reduced energy use.…”
