Abstract
The calculation of predicted mean vote (PMV) index is complex in real time when estimates indoor thermal comfort. As a result, some suitable model had been built to tackle this problem. In this paper, sensitivity analysis is used to sort the importance of each potential input variable on PMV. According to the results of ranking, the dimensional reduction and distribution of input space will be available. Then a T-S type hierarchical fuzzy system will be utilized to reflect PMV index by combining expert knowledge and the association analysis methods. After that the ANFIS is used to train and adjust the parameters of each subsystem through existing dataset. Simulation results show that it not only improves the accuracy but also reduce the total number of fuzzy rules.
