Abstract:

The drastic growth in the consumption of electrical household appliances becomes a concerned issue in recent years. It is difficult for traditional methods to consider both subject's comfort and energy savings. Moreover, different people have different comfort preferences and requirements. In this paper, a novel integrated control method of blind and lights is proposed and it can provide an intelligent and comfortable living environment in an office building. The presented method has the ability to intelligently learn the subjects' comfort preferences by analyzing their behaviors. Besides, an energy oriented control is proposed by considering the sun position and solar radiation into the room. Our method is implemented on a practical test bed in an energy-efficient building in the campus. The subject experiments are conducted to test the method and platform. After a couple days' learning, the platform can capture the subjects' preferences on the blind and lights. Compared to the traditional method, our method provides a more comfortable and energy-efficient illuminance environment in office building.
