We offer a supervisory ANN-MPC controller for residential buildings, that is able to simultaneously minimize the energy consumption and cost and to maintain the desired thermal comfort, while considering people’s expectations and physical constraints like the energy price and the power limitations.
The model, when applied to a building with an automatic HVAC system controller, forecast temperature and humidity variations inside each building area and enables the controller to better track the target conditions.
