Coordination and control for building automation systems

This paper presents coordination and control for heating energy distribution in building automation systems. The temperature of each room is determined by heating energy coordination and heat flow control. In this paper, the coordination and control is achieved in a distributed manner. Consensus schemes using only local information are employed to the heating energy coordination and the heat flow control. Thus, this paper proposes a distributed heating energy coordination scheme and a heat flow control method considering constraints based on distributed consensus algorithms.
