Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) consumes a significant fraction of energy in commercial buildings. Hence, the use of optimization techniques to reduce HVAC energy consumption has been widely studied. Model predictive control (MPC) is one state of the art optimization technique for HVAC control which converts the control problem to a sequence of optimization problems, each over a finite...
Residential buildings account for a significant proportion of overall energy consumption across the world. Decentralized room level Air Conditioners (ACs) are a commonplace in developing countries such as India, contributing a major share (34% in India) of the total residential energy consumption. Option to independently control each AC presents a prime opportunity for an energy saving system. Thus,...
In the context of developing countries, buildings account for around one-third of aggregate energy consumption with decentralized air conditioners (AC) being the major contributor. The possibility of room-level control, together with buildings substandard thermal insulation make decentralized ACs, an attractive target for energy conservation. Our overall objective is to provide targeted feedback for...
