Modeling and optimization of HVAC energy consumption

Considerations on design optimization criteria for windows providing low energy consumption and high visual comfort

“…Subject to E ≥ 0.5 (2) Accepted for publication in Applied Energy Table 2. Summary of criteria that were tested.…”

“…Examples include obtaining high visual performance [1], or lower energy consumption [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Data Mining Method For Energy System Aplications

“…Fig. 7 shows the flowchart of the Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm [27]. Kusiak and Zheng presented an evolutionary computation approach for optimization of power factor and power output of wind turbines.…”

Data science for building energy management: A review

“…For instance, Kusiak et al [33] investigated the relationships between the control settings of the air handling unit and energy usage of the HVAC system. In this case, an algorithm based on the combination of NNs was used to model the non-linear relationship between energy consumption, control settings (supply air temperature and supply air static pressure), and a set of uncontrollable parameters.…”

“…The authors used those rules to achieve near-optimal supervisory control strategies for a mixed-mode building during the cooling season. Although a variety of techniques can be applied to extract IF-THEN rules, most authors use classification techniques [32,33], especially decision tree algorithms [31,28]. In addition, classification models are effective tools that can be used to predict building user comfort under different environmental conditions [28].…”
