Tube-based robust model predictive control of multi-zone demand-controlled ventilation systems for energy saving and indoor air quality

PANDEMIC: Occupancy driven predictive ventilation control to minimize energy consumption and infection risk

“…This could save 15.1–20.7 % of electricity usage while providing a better indoor environment. Li et al [36] proposed a data-driven MPC strategy to optimize the energy efficiency and indoor air quality of multizone demand-controlled ventilation systems, which could handle the issue of uncertainties in a real duct network system. Their experimental results showed a reduction in IAQ cost by 38 % and energy consumption by 30 %.…”

Stochastic robust predictive fault-tolerant control for discrete systems with actuator faults

“…Because robust model predictive control (RMPC) [20][21][22] contains the merits of robust control and MPC, the problem of poor performance caused by model uncertainty can be well improved. Research on RMPC is gaining increasing interest.…”

The residential application of chain recooling energy recovery ventilator system in a hot and humid climate

“…A vivid example is that when the whole family gathers in the living room throughout the holiday, a large amount of fresh air is still delivered to unoccupied bedrooms and then wastefully exhausted. Even though workable solutions like multi-zone demand control ventilation are readily available and applied in commercial buildings [ [19] , [20] , [21] ], they are less practically implemented in budget-driven residential projects due to their cost and control complexity.…”
