Produktbeschreibung
The most efficient way of reducing the operational energy of large commercial buildings such as an airport terminal is the automatic control of its active energy systems. Adjusting energy setpoints manually for such buildings is a nightmare for facility managers. This work analyse factors responsible for a comfortable airport terminal and investigated the potentials of a high-level control system in airport terminal building. It described the development of a novel fuzzy rule-based supervisory controller, which intelligently establishes comfort setpoints based on passenger flow through the airport as well as variable external environmental conditions. The outputs from the supervisory controller are the low-level controllers¿ internal setpoint profile for thermal comfort, visual comfort and indoor air quality. The potential of the fuzzy rule-based supervisory controller to optimise comfort with minimal energy based on variation in occupancy and external conditions was demonstrated in this book. The systematic approach adopted, including the use of artificial intelligence to design supervisory controllers, can be extended to other large buildings which have variable occupancy
