This study investigated energy saving effects of published papers related to energy
management system (EMS), building energy management system (BEMS), industrial …

HVAC systems are the major energy consumers in buildings. Operation and control of HVAC
systems have significant impacts on the energy or cost efficiency of buildings besides their …

The paper addresses the problem of controlling a Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning
(HVAC) system with the purpose of achieving a desired thermal comfort level and energy …

Rule-based fuzzy modeling has been recognised as a powerful technique for the modeling
of partly-known nonlinear systems. Fuzzy models can effectively integrate information from …

A review of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning control problem for buildings is
presented with particular emphasis on its distinguishing features. Next, we not only examine …

Despite the popularity of the subject, one surprising aspect of building automation (BA) is the
scarcity of authoritative literature references regarding the topic. This situation hampers …

The present work is focused on the study of indoor thermal comfort control problem in
buildings equipped with HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems. The …

Decision making and control are two fields with distinct methods for solving problems, and
yet they are closely related. This book bridges the gap between decision making and control …

Nonlinear model-based predictive control (MBPC) in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process
control is attractive for industry. However, two main problems need to be considered:(i) …

This paper introduces a new fuzzy control technique, which belongs to the popular family of
control algorithms, called Model Predictive Controllers. The method is based on a dynamic …
