Abstract
Genetic algorithm has been used to find an optimal design of the movable and fixed window framework taking into account their thermal interaction with the glass pane and the wall. The objective function has been defined as a minimum heat losses subjected to a constraint of constant stiffness and amount of steel. To accelerate the computations parallel processing has been implemented.
