Application of Cuckoo Search Algorithm in Cost Estimation of Building Energy Engineering

Abstract

In order to solve the problem that the construction project cost estimation is at a relatively advanced stage, many information about the project cannot be determined, and many unforeseen things affecting the project cost will occur in the process of project construction, which makes the preparation of project investment estimation very difficult. An optimized firefly algorithm is proposed. By introducing cuckoo algorithm, the initial population of fireflies is optimized, which greatly improves the quality of the initial population and speeds up the convergence of fireflies to the optimal solution; Secondly, the performance of CSFA algorithm is tested by six standard test functions; Finally, the algorithm is applied to solve the pressure vessel design problem. The effectiveness of the experiment is verified.
