This paper proposes the optimal algorithm for controlling HVAC system in target building. Previous studies have analyzed pre-selected algorithms without considering unique data characteristics of building, such as location, climate conditions, and type. To address this, we compare accuracy cooling load prediction using ANN LSTM algorithms, widely used building energy research, to determine control We develop a simulation model calibrated with actual ensure reliability consumption existing...

In this study, an ANN (artificial neural network) based real-time optimized control algorithm for a chilled water cooling system was developed and applied in actual building to analyze its energy saving effects through in-situ application measurements. For purpose, the tower's CndWT (condenser temperature) chiller's ChWT (chilled were set as variables. To evaluate performance, electric consumption COP (coefficient of performance) compared analyzed when CndWTs controlled conventionally on...

Faults in HVAC systems can decrease system efficiency and equipment lifespan, leading to 5%-30% of energy consumption being wasted commercial buildings. We identified two common faults variable air volume systems: a stuck damper fault the terminal unit discharge airflow sensor fault. conducted three sets tests tests, each including fault-free scenario scenarios with varying levels faults, over one day. The were implemented Oak Ridge National Laboratory's two-story Flexible Research Platform...

Double Skin Façade (DSF) systems have become an alternative to the environmental and energy savings issues. DSF offers thermal buffer areas that can provide benefits conditioned spaces in form of improved comforts savings. There are many studies conducted resolve issues about heat captured inside DSF. Various window control strategies algorithms were introduced minimize gain summer. However, condition causes a time lag between response Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system...

Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems play a significant role in building energy consumption, accounting for around 50% of total usage. As result, it is essential to explore ways conserve improve HVAC system efficiency. One such solution the use economizer controls, which can reduce cooling consumption by using free-cooling effect. However, there are various types controls available, their effectiveness may vary depending on specific climate conditions. To investigate...

Windows are the primary aperture to introduce solar radiation interior space of a building. This experiment explores use EnergyPlus software for analyzing illuminance level on floor room with reference its distance from window. For this experiment, double clear glass window has been used. The preliminary modelling in showed consistent result experimentally monitored data real time. two mainly used daylighting algorithms: DElight method employing radiosity technique and Detailed split-flux...

As the use of fossil fuel has increased, not only in construction, but also agriculture due to drastic industrial development recent times, problems heating costs and global warming are getting worse. Therefore, introduction more reliable environmentally-friendly alternative energy sources become urgent same trend is found large-scale horticulture facilities. In this study, among many sources, we investigated reserves potential various different unused which have infinite potential, nowadays...

This study provides an open-source dataset of the measured weather data, building indoor and system data under different test settings. The is two-story Flexible Research Platform at US Department Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in Ridge, Tennessee. Four heating tests three cooling were conducted. 1-min interval weather, from each setting are provided. Actual collected a station installed on roof. paper describes information sensors, collection method, validation. provided can be...

The accuracy and speed of the daylighting analysis developed for use in EnergyPlus is better than its predecessors. In EnergyPlus, detailed method uses Split-flux algorithm whereas DElight Radiosity algorithm. Many existing studies have addressed two methods, either individually or compared with other daylight methods like Ray tracing but still there lack comparative study these methods. Our previous show that overestimates illuminance, especially areas away from window. has advantage...

Existing studies show sensor faults/error could double building energy consumption and carbon emissions compared with the baseline. Those assume that error is fixed or constant. However, faults are incipient in real conditions there were extremely limited investigating fault impacts systematically. This study filled this research gap by studying time-developing to rule-based controls on a 10-zone office building. The control sequences for variable air volume boxes (VAV) an handling unit...
