ABSTRACT: This paper presents
a stable, nonlinear, adaptive control scheme for building heating and cooling
systems. The proposed controller utilizes the principle of adaptive one step
ahead control and aims at reducing the energy consumed for heating or cooling a
building. The design steps are discussed in details and a proof of global
stability is also provided. Also, the performance of the proposed controller
is demonstrated on a simulated building thermal model.
