Designing envelope configurations of the office building with the low construction cost and energy consumption is a discrete optimization problem. The envelope design is currently determined merely on architects’ experiences resulting in an inefficient expense or by building energy performance simulation, which is time-intensive and involves complex processes. However, to reduce energy consumption in buildings, previous studies only focused on optimizing the façade design or optimizing the installation area of solar panels on the roofs without combining the design solution with the installation of energy panels on the façade (vertical surface) of the building. This study presents a method to optimize the installation area of solar panels on the glass surfaces in buildings in order to reduce the amount of heat absorbed and create a large amount of renewable energy used in the building. It is based on the Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing methodologies to integrate both environmental and economic aspects.

In recent years, the awareness of sustainable construction has increasingly risen in countries around the world, with the main goal being to avoid depleting energy resources and raw materials and to greatly reduce carbon emissions. Therefore, the selection of eco-friendly building materials becomes a difficult task and choosing the best construction strategy is a complicated process. Most of the studies of the building material selection often focus on optimizing material-related green building scores with budget constraints based on the environmental impacts of those materials. However, these studies do not pay attention to the impact of sustainable materials on two important aspects of a project: The initial investment cost and the total labor-working days. Hence, this study developed a model that optimizes a material mix for buildings considering the building budget, total labor-working days, and material-related green building scores. A case study in Vietnam was conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. This proposed model provides a guidance for decision-makers in selecting approximate materials for buildings toward sustainability.
