Predicting the Optimal Shut-Down Time of Heat, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Cooling System in Building[J]. 2013, 47(10): 31-36+61.DOI: 10.7652/xjtuxb201310006.
air-conditioning and cooling(HVAC)as well as natural ventilation during the HAVC shut-down stage is studied for energy saving while maintaining indoor thermal comfort. The problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem by taking the volume of natural ventilation and the statuses of the supplied air of both FCU and FAU as system inputs
the indoor air temperature and the indoor air moisture content as system states
the total building energy consumption as the optimization objective
and the comfort requirements of indoor personnel as constraints. Results show that a good-enough policy instead of the best policy can be obtained by using ANN to approximate and to predict the relationship among the climate parameters
the initial conditions of indoor environment
the optimal shut-down time of HVAC
and the joint control policy of natural ventilation and HVAC. The policy has higher adaptability and generalization ability
and the predicting accuracy and reliability of ANN can be further improved by optimizing its configuration. Comparisons of both the indoor environment and the building energy consumption show that the good-enough policy further achieves 20% reduction in building energy consumption in one hour simulation.
