Type of article: Article

Summary

This article describes the development and implementation of a simulation testbed used to study the concept of employing intelligent agents to optimize the performance of building HVAC systems. One-day simulated cost savings results are presented for intelligent agents employing both a simple optimization method and an advanced optimization method. The potential benefits and problems associated with each method are discussed, and recommendations are made for future research efforts leading to the application of intelligent agents in real building.
