A data-driven approach to HVAC control for environments with unknown thermal characteristics.
- Created a heat transfer model of a standard office/warehouse environment equipped with an HVAC system
- Embedded physical information of a general environment into ARX for model identification
- Gradient descent was used to optimize a PID controller to regulate the internal temperature
