Study of temperature control using cyber-physical system approach in home environment

Technology advances allow us to design smart home system for the purpose of achieving high demand on occupants´ comfort. In this research, we focus on building a thermal comfort controller for the existing hybrid temperature control (HTC) system, which is based on the cyber-physical system (CPS) approach. By using air-conditioner, window and curtain, our proposed controller can acquire the desired temperature while achieving high energy efficiency. We evaluate and verify our proposed controller in the cyber-physical home system environment by using MATLAB/Simulink tool and the raw data gathered from actual measurements.
