Integrated control by controlling both natural ventilation and HVAC systems based on human thermal comfort requirement can result in significant energy savings. The concept of this paper differs from conventional methods of energy saving in HVAC systems by integrating the control of both these...

In a hot and humid climate, HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) systems go through rigorous coupling procedures as a result of indoor conditions, which are significantly affected by the outdoor environment. Hence, a traditional method for addressing a coupling setback in HVAC...

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are the most energy consuming building services representing approximately half of the final energy use in the building sector and between one tenth and one fifth of the energy consumption in developed countries. Despite their significant...
