Efficient energy management in buildings is becoming an important requirement aimed at reducing energy costs and environmental pollution. Setting a monthly budget for energy consumption, and consequently energy cost, of buildings is being practiced by several organizations in a bid to reduce their carbon footprint. However, the impact of such an energy budget on the indoor comfort of users in a building...
In the paper there are presented the problems of optimal control for indoor thermal comfort in classroom equipped with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems. It is very important that the design of such HVAC control systems allows to minimize the energy consumption and to maximize microclimate comfort sensation. There are discussed the results of modeling the classroom using building...
There have been very few advanced control algorithms developed for small commercial buildings due to practical difficulties such as the spatial comfort variations, significant disturbances, high sensor costs, and high cost of site-specific engineering solutions. High implementation cost has been a major impediment to successful market penetration. The focus of this work is to develop and demonstrate...
Exergy has been extensively used to assess the efficiency of energy systems. This metric is relevant to quality of energy and is also a measure of sustainability. In this paper, exergy model of a building is presented and exergy destruction is formulate as a function of the physical parameters of the building model and environment. The exergy model is then used to develop model predictive control...
