Adaptive control of indoor temperature in a building

In today´s economy, everyone wants to reduce the cost of energy consumption in a building. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are analyzed to make them more adaptive to maintain the thermal comfort conditions of a living space. This paper presents an adaptive one step ahead and an adaptive weighted one step ahead controller for controlling the indoor air temperature of a building modeled by a bilinear system. It also presents the results of a simulation study that demonstrate good performance of the proposed adaptive control schemes.
