IMPROVING BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY USING DISTRIBUTED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Keyword(s):
Saving energy in buildings without losing the comfort of the occupants is contradictory request. It has been shown that the use of smart thermostats to HVAC systems reduce energy consumption as much as thirty percent. Depending on the number of different, pre-defined temperature levels, energy savings might be even greater. The method for determining the coefficient of utilization which is based on a normal time temperature distribution is proposed.
