Select-HVAC: knowledge- based system as an advisor to configure HVAC systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A knowledge-based system is presented that has been developed to be used as an advisor in the preliminary design stage of HVAC systems. It enables designers to configure and size HVAC equipment for different climatic conditions, in terms of building type, indoor requirements, outdoor and indoor air pollution. A new approach has been used in building the system, using a modified knowledge engineering methodology and a menudriven front-end to a full frame-based system.
