Applying high-tech environmental control strategies in a low-tech context: an innovative approach to smart passive cooling in buildings.

Author(s) : MAHDAVI A.

Summary

This paper describes a model-based control methodology that applies sensor and actuator technologies and software to optimize the use of naturally existing cooling potential in buildings. Toward this end, a simulation-assisted approach is introduced and virtually tested for the operation of natural ventilation devices in buildings. Thereby, simulated (future) consequences of alternative (present) control actions are compared and ranked, leading to the identification of the most desirable building systems control regime.
