Abstract

In this project, the building’s electrical equipment by using fuzzy logic rules are modeled and the appropriate fuzzy logic controller in order to reduce consumption of building’s electrical energy is defined. Buildings are the largest consumers of energy worldwide including new residential and industrial buildings. The purpose of using fuzzy logic rules for building’s electrical equipment (air conditioning system, lighting and blinds) is to save energy in the whole building while keeping occupants comfort based on the comfort zone. Most of the intelligence controller use the multiple controller consist of lighting controller, HVAC and blind controller in order to control the building power consumption or create the math model for just one part of building, but in this way, by applying fuzzy rules to the plant, there is no need to have any exact mathematical model of building and finally designed the fuzzy controller to save power consumption.
