In the present research, the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) was used to minimize the yearly energy consumption of an office building in Seattle weather conditions. The GWO is a meta-heuristic optimization method, which was inspired by the hunting behavior of grey wolfs. The optimization method was coded...
