Cascaded controllers have been shown in recent literature to significantly reduce hunting behavior and improve the performance of a variety of HVAC systems. The cascaded …
Due to its nonlinear nature, the supply fan at air handling units with the controller tuned at the design condition tends to be aggressive and oscillate under partial load conditions. The …
The control systems at Air handling units (AHUs) have nonlinear nature, resulting potentially in sluggish, aggressive, or oscillatory responses under variable operation conditions. This …
This chapter develops a methodology for modeling of heat transfer dynamics in a building atrium via Koopman mode decomposition (KMD). We address the phenomenon of heat …
Building operations consume about 40% of the total energy consumption in the US, with Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) comprising a significant portion of it. HVAC …
