A Comfort-Aware Energy Efficient HVAC System Based on the Subspace Identification Method

A Comfort-Aware Energy Efficient HVAC System Based on the Subspace Identification Method

A proactive heating method is presented aiming at reducing the energy consumption in a HVAC system while maintaining the thermal comfort of the occupants. The proposed technique fuses time predictions for the zones’ temperatures, based on a deterministic subspace identification method, and zones’ oc...
