[bldg-sim] GenOpt 2.0.0 released

[Michael Wetter <MWetter@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Building Simulation Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the release of GenOpt 2.0.0.

GenOpt is an optimization program for the minimization of a “cost 
function” (such as annual energy use, peak electrical demand, utility 
cost, etc.) that is evaluated by an external simulation program.

For example, you can compute a building's annual energy cost in 
EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, SPARK, DOE-2, or any simulation program with 
text-based input and output, and let GenOpt automatically find the 
values of selected parameters that yield lowest cost.

GenOpt has a library with local and global multi-dimensional and 
one-dimensional optimization algorithms, as well as algorithms for doing 
parametric studies.

For free download and more information, please visit

Thank you for your interest in GenOpt.

Sincerely,

Michael Wetter
