Our control scheme utilizes fitted thermal simulation to achieve precise prediction of room temperature and energy consumption in each prediction period. The set points of HVAC systems are selected to minimize the amount of energy consumption while maintaining room temperature within a desirable range to satisfy user comfort. Our control system is simple enough to implement in residential houses and is more efficient comparing with rule-based control methods. publisher: VNU Journal of Science date: 2018 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://eprints.uet.vnu.edu.vn/eprints/id/eprint/3446/2/MPCforHVACsystem_final.pdf identifier: Nguyen, Hoai Son and Yasuo, Tan (2018) Simulation-based Short-term Model Predictive Control for HVAC Systems of Residential Houses.
