Abstract

In this paper a novel optimal Model Reference Adaptive Control approach, developed to tame the thermohygrometric behaviour of buildings as well as to guarantee the indoor comfort, is presented. The main advantages of the proposed method are: (i) no-need of a priori knowledge of the specific building dynamics due to climate, occupants’ behaviour, building use, envelope features and utility rates; (ii) robustness with respect to a large class of perturbations, external disturbances, nonlinear unmodelled dynamics or parameters uncertainty; (iii) ability to impose desired optimal dynamics; (iv) accurate regulation and fast tracking of indoor air temperature and humidity in the case of stringent requirements in special building spaces (e.g. hospitals, museums, laboratories, etc.).
