Harmonization of thermal and daylight flows with modelling, simulation and control system design in buildings

Abstract

The paper deals with a specific problem in the wide area of intelligent buildings - with the harmonization of thermal and daylight flows. The first part describes some aspects of modelling and simulation of thermal phenomena. A complex simulator in Matlab Simulink environment was developed. A real process - a test chamber was also built for validation of mathematical modelling and control design. Different control algorithms were tested in simulation environment and on the real process-test chamber. Finally the illumination control by the aid of changeable properties in the chamber envelope - roller blind positioning, was also studied
