Most of the studies about control, automation, optimization and supervision of building HVAC systems are about the steady-state regime, i.e. when the equipment is already working on their setpoints. In this work, it is defined an approach for multi-HVAC systems to reach the setpoint at the startup, so that other steady statebased strategies can smoothly come into operation to control and supervise their operations. The proposed approach for the management of the transient regime for multi-HVAC systems is based on the "Autonomic Cycle of Data Analysis Tasks" concept. In this case, it is composed of two data analysis tasks: one for determining if the system is going towards the defined operational setpoint, and if it was not the case, another for reconfiguring the operational mode of the multi-HVAC system to redirect it. The proposal is proved in a real context that characterizes one multi-HVAC system and its operational setpoints. The performance obtained from the experiments in diverse situations is encouraging, since they show how this approach leads the multi-HVAC system to reach the setpoint optimizing contradictory objectives, such as to attain the desired comfort, or reduce the energy costs, among others.

“…The optimization identifies possible operational modes and which one best fits the set of objectives. The proposed architecture is based on the Autonomous Cycle of Data Analysis Tasks (ACODAT) [34], [35] paradigm, that defines a set of Data Analysis Tasks (DATs) [35] that autonomously interact providing intelligent supervision for achieving the pursued strategic goals. Some DATs monitor the selected variables (e.g., energy cost, CO2 emissions) and make decisions that deliver to other DATs; other DATs extract knowledge to predict potential system behaviors; others identify relations between variables; there are DATs that search for the optimal multi-HVAC system operational mode, and others supervise the system performance.…”

This article proposes a self-managing architecture for multi-HVAC systems in buildings, based on the ''Autonomous Cycle of Data Analysis Tasks'' concept. A multi-HVAC system can be plainly seen as a set of HVAC subsystems, made up of heat pumps, chillers, cooling towers or boilers, among others. Our approach is used for improving the energy consumption, as well as to maintain the indoor comfort, and maximize the equipment performance, by means of identifying and selecting of a possible multi-HVAC system operational mode. The multi-HVAC system operational modes are the different combinations of the HVAC subsystems. The proposed architecture relies on a set of data analysis tasks that exploit the data gathered from the system and the environment to autonomously manage the multi-HVAC system. Some of these tasks analyze the data to obtain the optimal operational mode in a given moment, while others control the active HVAC subsystems. The proposed model is based on standard standard HVAC mathematical models, that are adapted on the fly to the contextual data sensed from the environment. Finally, two case studies, one with heterogeneous and another with homogeneous HVAC equipment, show the generality of the proposed autonomous management architecture for multi-HVAC systems.

Abstract-This paper presents the architecture of a Reflective Middleware for Acoustic Management that will improve the interaction between users and agents in Intelligent Environments, using the Multiagent System paradigm. The middleware manages the acoustic services, from the identification and recognition of the acoustic signals, until the interpretation, processing and analysis of them. In this paper are detailed the architecture bases, the middleware components, and case studies where this Middleware can be used. Acoustic signals and vibrations will generate the connection between agents, but it will also include the sounds that are provided by the users of the Intelligent Environment, making it an interactive and immersive experience.
