Fuzzy Logic Control of HVAC Systems Drew Brunning
Motivation • Buildings consume ≈ 50% of world’s energy • Fuzzy logic control more efficient • Still being researched
Types of HVAC Controls • Two-Position Control (Most Common) • Floating Control • PID • ANN • Fuzzy Logic
Comparison • Comparing to other research • Comparing to Two-Position model
Approach • Error function • TDesired – TMeasured(t) = Error(t) • Membership functions for error • Change fan speed based on error membership
Simplistic Building Model • Model as rectangular prism • Makes modest assumptions about air pressure/density • Interacts via conduction and convection • Constants averaged among brick, glass, and wood • Not terribly important to the controller
Expected Results • Less energy consumption • Dependent on model and assumptions • Less fluctuation about Tdesired • Same or better time to temperature range
