During recent years there have been considerable research efforts on improving energy
efficiency of buildings. Since Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems are …

This paper presents a novel control approach for indoor temperature regulation in tertiary
buildings, based on predictive functional control. The main control objective is to reduce the …

This paper addresses the potential benefit achievable via model-based, predictive control of
the AC system in overheated buildings with large glazed façades. A sick building in Italy …

In this chapter, we delve deeper into understanding modeling and control approaches for
one of the important subsystems in an intelligent building, the HVAC system. Specifically …

Actuator hunting is a widespread and often neglected problem in the HVAC field. Hunting is
typically characterized by sustained or intermittent oscillations, and can result in decreased …

In this paper, heating and ventilation air conditioning system (HVAC) dataset for a medium-
large size building in Romania has been used. It has been collected in one year. Linear …

Multi-evaporator air conditioning system has found increasing applications in buildings.
Energy-efficient control for this kind of system presents significant challenge because of …

Heating systems are becoming an increasingly important research subject in the building
field because, they are the main element used to improve occupants comfort. This work is …

Smart buildings are called the buildings which are enhanced with advanced algorithms that
can derive decisions and take actions to improve energy efficiency and to maintain indoor …

Coupling in control systems can create many difficulties for control engineers, especially
when trying to use traditional control techniques. In this paper, the potential of cascaded …
