Experimental and simulated performance of optimal control of building thermal storage.

Author(s) : MORRIS F. B., BRAUN J. E., TREADO S. J.

Summary

Dynamic building control involves utilizing the thermal storage potential of building mass to reduce cooling costs. Previous simulation studies have shown that both energy use and peak electrical demand can be significantly reduced using dynamic building control instead of conventional night setback control for many applications. In the study, optimal dynamic building control strategies were compared with night setback control through experiments at a test facility representative of a room in a large office building. The results of this research demonstrate the tremendous potential associated with optimal control of building thermal storage.
