Development of a Home Temperature Control Unit based on a Model Predictive Control Strategy

Abstract	The paper presents the development of a home temperature control unit that aimed to replace standard residential building temperature control units with one which has superior performance and improves the comfort for occupants. The new developed system integrates a model predictive control strategy and building model online identification algorithms that assure a large applicability for different buildings. The implementation of the control unit is performed using the Discovery development board. For testing the control unit a Hardware in the loop simulation experiment is developed using dSpace platform. The obtained results showed that the proposed systems have better results from energy efficiency point of view.
