Smart Building Climate Control Considering Indoor and Outdoor Parameters

Part 5: Industrial Management and Other ApplicationsInternational audienceHeating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC systems) account for the majority of the energy used in buildings. Consequently, any business has the potential to realize significant cost savings by improving control of HVAC operations and increase the efficiency of the system it uses. Using a highly efficient HVAC equipment can lead to significant energy and emissions savings. The entire structure of the building in combination with the enhanced comfort zone can produce a much greater savings. Extended comfort includes the use of concepts such as providing a warm, but drier air using a desiccant dehumidification in the summer, or the colder air from the warm walls of windows and warm in winter. In addition, high efficiency HVAC can provide enhanced thermal comfort for people, as well as to contribute to the improvement of environmental quality in the room. The paper explores thermal process and the affecting parameters, and introduce fuzzy logic based energy consumption model based on controlling of HVAC devices
