Smart HVAC System Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

Every building nowadays requires air-conditioning system which consumes very large part of their electrical energy consumption. It is found that locations like theaters, stadium, and corporate offices consume very large amount of energy which is about 45% of their total energy intake. Homes and offices are also the major consumer of energy through air-conditioning system. Hence, it is a need of hour to reduce the power consumption in every possible manner. Automation of air conditioning system is necessary for the user in order to reduce energy consumption and provide comfortable environment. In this paper, FUZZY logics are used in accordance with compact controllers to maintain the temperature close to the comfortable temperature. This paper proposes the idea to minimize user interface with the air-condition system and encourages use of different input methods directly from the surrounding. This system can save 16–25% of total energy consumed by the air-conditioners.
