Intelligent Multi-Agent Building Management in Various Operation Modes

This paper reviews an approach to solving a problem of building management in various modes of operation using multi-agent control system with intelligent agents. The intelligence of an agent is achieved using an integrated production rule expert system. Intelligent agents help to successfully solve the problems associated with decision-making when incidents and emergencies occur, identify the preferences and satisfy the requirements of people. The algorithms of an intelligent agent were tested by simulating an emergency - a fire breakout in one of the building's areas. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed building management approach.
