An Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence Integrated in Control Strategies in Building Services

Abstract

This study carries out a literature review on artificial intelligence techniques used in building services for energy economy while maintaining the comfort of the occupants. The building services in which artificial intelligence techniques are used the most are: lighting systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems, heating systems which use radiators and we also decided to include dynamic shading systems in here. The artificial intelligence techniques which are used the most in the recent years in building services are: fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks and for optimization problems, genetic algorithms are used. These techniques are utilized in many occasions to build predictive models or occupancy-based models.
