Abstract
In order to provide decision-making mechanism for application of model-based control of heating systems in buildings, a method has been proposed that assumes the energy balance calculation as the performance bound for the model-based controller. If the performance bound is significantly lower than the actual energy consumption, a more accurate estimate is made by means of dynamic model identification and model-based controller simulation. Said method has been tested as a case study on a health care center located in Prague, Czech Republic.
