This paper introduces a linear quadratic control scheme for continuous-time system with observations taken at discrete times. Particular attention is given to the derivation of disturbance terms in model. Control performance may depend critical on accurate forecasts. case building climate control, where solar rays pass through e.g. windows and deliver significant amounts energy dynamics can be ...

in some climates, massive buildings made of stone, masonry, concrete, earth and … can be utilized as one of the simplest and most effective ways of reducing building heating and cooling loads. very often such savings could be achieved in the design stage of the building and with a relatively low-cost. such declines in building envelope heat losses combined with optimized material configuration ...
