Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling building equipment include simulating operation of the building equipment at a plurality of initial points to generate corresponding values of a first control objective and a second control objective that competes with the first control objective, automatically generating a new point at which to run a new simulation based on the plurality of initial points and the corresponding values of the control objectives, running the new simulation at the new point to generate corresponding values of the control objectives, classifying a subset of the plurality of initial points and the new point as Pareto-optimal points based on the corresponding values of the control objectives, and operating the building equipment at a Pareto-optimal point selected from the subset of the plurality of initial points and the new point classified as Pareto-optimal points.
