Lti, X. Energy and Buildings, 2002, 34, (IO), 1045-1054.
The objective of this work is to evaluate the possibility of ensuring
indoor temperature and relative humidity in an acceptable range by
controlling heating and ventilation associated with minimizing the
energy consumption or cost by the use of a numerical simulation
program. An acceptable indoor range means that indoor temperature is
20°C with small fluctuation and relative humidity is in the range of 20-
70%. A simple heating and ventilation control regulation is proposed.
Simulation examples are conducted for different types of buildings
based on energy consumption or cost factor. Simulations demonstrate
that the indoor condition is much more improved and significant
energy consumption or cost can be reduced by using the control
regulation developed in this paper.
