+<br>The optimization tool is designed to help users parametrically explore product alternatives to find the most beneficial multi-objective solution(s). Learn more about updates to Optimization (on and after 25th of October 2022) here. Many times, design teams are exploring the impact of improving wall insulation, followed by the impact of improving roof insulation, followed by HVAC, and so on. With this strategy, a user can find, that perhaps from an overall cost vs energy standpoint, it is better to use better wall insulation and glass products, while still choosing a slightly lower-performance HVAC as an example. This process to uncover holistic optimal bundles is one of the most widely leveraged studies in the platform. In the next section, we will explain how it works. Diagram of Optimization tool interface: Bundle's Tab. How Does it work? The end goal of the optimization tool is to find a combination of options that will outperform the baseline model.<br>
+
+<br>Thus, before reaching the optimization tool, users must first establish their baseline model on the Baseline Energy page. The inputs and outputs of the baseline energy model will be carried forward to the optimization page to establish the [reference](https://www.deer-digest.com/?s=reference) point, from which every bundle will try to beat. These baseline options will also be the greyed-out options you see at the [Top Source Media](https://lifeintheland.com/wiki/User:Vivian1040) of each product category tab and will be used to calculate the baseline "bare materials" cost, embodied carbon, and LEED points. Ex. 10k sqft of Exterior wall at $2/sqft has a material cost of $20,000). Users can then add every alternative option they would like to explore, whether it be 5 glazing options, 4 wall products, 3 HVAC alternatives, and more. By default, some options may already be made available based on location and building type. This is also why the bundle's list may already be available when first reaching the tool. CO2e (the last field is optional). Once completed, hit Recalculate.<br>
+
+<br>The tool will then run hundreds of whole building simulations instantaneously and find top-bundles that outperform the baseline model in terms of energy performance and cost, while also calculating payback period, embodied carbon, LEED points earned, and energy savings for each bundle. Typically it takes 60 seconds to run before displaying your results again, however, it may take longer depending on the number of high-performing options you listed in the options list. Least Improved. Note that although the tool ran every combination, only bundles that improved energy efficiency, or saved cost without impact energy will be displayed. If you received the message, "There weren’t enough options for us to optimize. Please provide some more." Try improving the list of product alternatives by including more options with lower costs and/or are more efficient. Back to the Cost Vs Energy Optimized bundle, this is the [Top Source Media](https://lifeintheland.com/wiki/User:Vivian1040) identified strategy to improved your building. Check out which options were used to generate this bundle (right side), and what the improvement was from baseline (blue, left side).<br>
+
+<br>The bundles which follow are ranked 2nd, 3rd, and so on, to demonstrate their quality in energy performance and low-cost premiums. If users want to add parameters to the bundles being evaluated, then they could do so by using their mouse to highlight a portion of the vertical axis that depicts the range of options they would like to analyze on the [Top Source Media services](https://ashandbloommush.com/index.php?title=User:BonnyA7081208) Parallel Coordinates graph. The web-like graph is a visualization of the analysis, displaying the bundles as blue lines atop the category columns. Applying filters helps shortlist bundles to meet the team's targets. 5 year payback period, you may wanna add the parameter and cut out any other bundle, not within this range. This filtering will automatically trim the list and rerank the bundles. Filters options include designing for LEED Points, Energy Savings, Payback Years, Embodied Carbon, and even focusing on the selection of specific products. With the new more refined bundle list, you can find the most beneficial combination of strategies.<br>
