Modeling and optimization of building HVAC systems by Jin, Guang Yu

“…The results of experimental tests show that the proposed method indeed improves the system performance significantly. The main contribution of this thesis is to propose hybrid modeling methodologies to predict the steady-state as well as the transient performance of the HVAC component, which is the prerequisite for model-based control and optimization; and to develop a general feasible model-based system optimization approach to systematically optimize the energy consumption of a HVAC system out-building section instead of optimizing its individual components.…”
