Summary

Most heating, ventilation and air conditioning control systems are considered as temperature control problems. In this work, the predicted mean vote (PMV) is used to control the indoor temperature of a space by setting it at a point where the PMV index becomes zero and the predicted percentage of persons dissatisfied achieves a maximum threshold of 5%. This is achieved through the use of a fuzzy logic controller. Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy makes it possible to maximise the indoor thermal comfort while reducing the energy consumption.
