In this paper we examine a supermarket system. In order to grasp the most important dynamics we present a model that includes the single zone building thermal envelope with its heating, cooling and ventilation. Moreover we include heat waste recovery from the refrigeration high pressure side. The retrieved heat excess can be stored in the water tank. For this purpose the charging and the discharging...
Recently, a control algorithm has been presented to control the geometry of a prestressed flexible cable net formwork, which is used for the construction of anticlastic thin concrete shell structures in architecture. The most important uncertainties in the model of the cable net are the parameters of unstressed lengths of its edges. As the control algorithm is model-based, its performance depends...
In this paper we consider the problem of navigating emergency rescuers in buildings. The objective of the rescuer is to reach several critical regions in a building endangered by a spreading hazard and leave safely. We consider stochastic finite state models to capture the dynamics of the rescuer and the hazardous environment. We encode the objective of the rescuer as an automaton specification satisfaction...
Model-based control strategies are widely used to improve the energy efficiency of building systems but they require accurate dynamic building models. Information about disturbances such as lumped load and occupancy is necessary in order to cover the mismatch between the simulations and reality, which leads to determining correct energy predictions of the building. Rigorous models that are applied...
