Abstrakt:	Energy needs in the buildings sector accounts for 40 % of global energy demand. Therefore, the implementation of several renewable energy sources is necessary to reduce this demand. The design stage of a decentralized generation project requires quantifying the power to be installed and the energy forecast for each source throughout the useful life of the building. This study develops a novel optimization algorithm for a long-term economic function based on mixed-integer disciplined convex programming (MIDCP) which guarantees the sustainability of the building and its energy systems. The robust algorithm integrates risk management of intermittent sources, technical and economic parameters of selected technologies, and life cycle analysis (LCA) of different energy systems, including storage. Furthermore, the penetration of green hydrogen into the distributed generation mix is evaluated as an important contribution. Meteorological and energy demand variables of two antagonistic scenarios were also used as inputs to the algorithm. As a result, the optimal energy supply sizing for tertiary buildings in the two defined locations was obtained. The results of the simulations have achieved an optimal convergence of 100 % in the proposed scenarios, with a resolution time of 14 s and using a memory of about 183 MB. The simulations suggest a higher penetration of green hydrogen in scenarios where supply and investment costs decrease to gray hydrogen supply levels, reaching up to 81 % coverage of the thermal demand of the building. Hybrid energy systems under favorable conditions show a penetration of about 92 % within the distributed generation mix. The developed tool could enable decision-makers to optimally plan distributed generation projects in buildings based on economic, policy, and geographic conditions.
