A novel model for optimization of Intelligent Multi-User Visual Comfort System based on soft-computing algorithms

Intelligent buildings are at the forefront due to its main objective of providing comfort to users and saving energy through intelligent control systems. Intelligent systems have been reported to offer comfort to a single user or averaging the comfort of multiple users without considering that their needs may be different from those of other users. This work defines a versatile model for a multi-user intelligent system that negotiates with the resources of the environment to offer visual comfort to multiple users with different profiles, activities and priorities using soft-computing algorithms. In addition, this model makes use of external lighting to provide the recommended amount of illumination for each user without having to totally depend on artificial lighting, inducing there will be an energy efficiency but without measuring it.
