In this thesis, we propose a comprehensive methodology to simulate the hygrothermal behaviour and continuously monitor the energy efficiency of buildings. The multi-zone model developed is of the grey box type and is based on heat and moisture transfer processes. It integrates solar radiation as an energy source as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems such as heat pumps or VMCs. This hygrothermal model allows the estimation and prediction of microclimatic data such as operative temperature, radiant temperature and humidity rate which are essential for the qualification of thermal comfort. The generated model is used to develop new economic model predictive control strategy to ensure hygrothermal comfort in occupied area...
