Building systems are subject of dynamic system that have a general feature of non-linearity and in turn, present us with different challenges for its optimized control of energy-saving …
It has been proven that advanced building control, like model predictive control (MPC), can notably reduce the energy use and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, despite …
In the last few years, the application of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for energy management in buildings has received significant attention from the research community …
Mixed-mode buildings utilise a combination of natural ventilation from operable building envelopes and mechanical systems to realise climate-friendly ventilation and cooling. The …
Whole building energy model (BEM) is a physics-based modeling method for building energy simulation. It has been widely used in the building industry for code compliance …
