Based on building polygons (building footprints) on the digital map, we are proposing a GIS and CG integrated system to generate 3-D building models automatically. Most building polygons’ edges meet at right angles (orthogonal polygon). A complicated orthogonal polygon can be partitioned into a set of rectangles. In order to partition an orthogonal polygon, we proposed a useful polygon expressi...

Building Energy Management Systems consist of hardware and software components. The hardware set-up of BEMS is typically made up of a set of computers in charge of building control and sensoractuator networks. The software side of BEMS is usually made up of a number of functional layers that implement standard management functionalities. This paper will present an application of Model based Pre...

The development of advanced control systems for building performance applications faces many challenges due to the high number of physical processes that interact with each other, and with the environment. From the control point of view, these applications are often composed of multi dynamic sub-applications that must be monitored and controlled properly in order to achieve occupants’ well-bein...

The increasing importance of environmental problems in the last decades, and the consequently stricter regulations adopted, require a holistic approach in control and operation of wastewater process, whose primary objective is to maintain a good state of the receiving waters. This paper reports the study focused on building a Fuzzy Logic Control for integrated wastewater systems. The control in...

This paper presents the behaviour-based control architecture iB2C (integrated Behaviour-Based Control) used for the development of complex robotic systems. The specification of behavioural components is described as well as the integration of behaviour coordination and hierarchical abstraction. It is considered how the design process can be supported by guidelines and by tools for development a...
