“…By means of artificial intelligence, the system is capable of assessing, diagnosing and suggesting the best operation mode. Within the framework of machine learning, some artificial intelligence techniques could be successfully applied to enhance the HVAC System capabilities (Alcala´et al, 2001;Arima et al, 1995;Calvino et al, 2004;Huang and Nelson , 1994;Jian and Wenjian, 2000;Pargfrieder and Jo¨rgl, 2002;Rahmati et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2003) or to aid the HVAC System modeling (Angelov, 2002). In this way, the use of appropriate automatic control strategies, as fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) (Driankov et al, 1993;Mamdani, 1974;Mamdani and Assilian, 1975), for HVAC systems control could result in important energy savings when compared to manual control, specially when they explicitly try to minimize the energy consumption (Alcala´et al, 2001;Arima et al, 1995;Huang and Nelson , 1994;Pargfrieder and Jo¨rgl, 2002).…”
