Comparison of the performance of fuzzy controllers for the management of the indoor environment

Abstract Fuzzy logic control applied in Indoor Environment Management Systems provides a significant advantage in terms of energy conservation and users’ indoor comfort requirements satisfaction compared with the classical control systems. The aim of the present paper is to compare the performance of five fuzzy controllers (fuzzy P, fuzzy PID, fuzzy PI, fuzzy PD and adaptive fuzzy PD) developed in the framework of the BUILTECH (JOE3-CT97-0044) project which is in part funded by the European Commission JOULE Programme. The performance criteria are the response performance and the energy consumption.
