algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Octopus beginner - optimization not occuring

Hello,
 
I've been trying to run octopus for the past days but I get results that only vary on the diversity/obj1 and diversity/obj2 but never on objective1/objective 2. 
The model is a facade that has to be optimized for cooling loads and daylight factor.
The genes are the following:
1. Two sliders controlling the division of the facade (one for the horizontal one for the vertical).
2. Two sliders controlling the height of the louvers (from the lower left-hand corner to the top right corner)
3. 8 sliders controlling the selection of glazing panels.
The optimisation criteria I am using are:
1. The average daylight factor should be maximized. I am using the formula: if(x<y,1,0), with y=2
2. The total cooling loads should be minimized. I am using the formula: if (x>(or equal to) y, 1,0) with y = 900.
I don't know if my explanation is clear, any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
All the best, 
Luisa
