Multi-Model Identification of HVAC System

Dynamic model of an HVAC system for control analysis

This paper describes a procedure for deriving a dynamic model of an HVAC system that consists of a zone, heating coil, cooling and dehumidifying coil, humidifier, ductwork, fan, and mixing box. In particular, the interest is centered on control strategies to reduce energy consumption and improving the quality of the indoor environment. Indoor temperature and humidity may be maintained at set po...

HVAC System Validation Simulation

This paper describes the concept of using simulation as a tool for performance validation and energy analysis of HVAC systems. Recent advances in control system technology, including the development of open protocols such as BACnet have made sensor and control signal information from various components and subsystems in a building more accessible. This development has created significant potent...

Identification of Houseplants Using Neuro-vision Based Multi-stage Classification System

In this paper, we present a machine vision system that was developed on the basis of neural networks to identify twelve houseplants. Image processing system was used to extract 41 features of color, texture and shape from the images taken from front and back of the leaves. The features were fed into the neural network system as the recognition criteria and inputs. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) ne...
