Description
Computerized building and energy management and control systems provide a variety of effective ways to reduce utility costs and energy consumption associated with maintaining environmental conditions and thermal comfort in buildings. These systems can incorporate advanced control strategies that respond to inputs including changing weather, building conditions, occupancy levels and utility rates to minimize operating costs, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while also enhancing occupant comfort. This chapter focuses on the opportunities and control strategies associated with using supervisory control strategies and optimization methods applied to cooling systems, heating systems, air-handling units, and zone equipment.
