Summary

Explores the application of modern control theory to design control systems for buildings. Considers example problems dealing with HVAC systems and indoor environment control. Uses linear models of the systems to design controllers based on: 1) pole-placement technique; 2) optimal regulator theory; and 3) adaptative control. Investigates the responses of the system subject to disturbances. States the results illustrate the advantage of one method over the other and emphasise the importance of the use of improved methods to design control systems for intelligent buildings.
