Abstract: Many design problems related to buildings involve minimizing capital and operating costs while providing acceptable service. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are an optimization method that has been applied ...

Abstract: In a variable air volume (VAV) ventilation system equipped with an adjustable-speed supply fan, the fan speed typically is controlled based on the pressure measured at some location in the ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the design and implementation of hardware and software tools for nonintrusive electrical load monitoring. Estimates of spectral content in measured waveforms can be used to ...
