Abstract

Abstract. With the fast development of information technology and increasingly prominent environmental problems, building comfort and energy management become the major tasks for an intelligent residen-tial building system. According to statistical studies, people spend 80% of their lives in buildings. Hence it is not surprising that they constantly seek to improve comfort in their living spaces. This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller optimized by an artificial immune system algo-rithm aimed at maintaining the thermal comfort while reducing energy consumption. The experimental results show the advantages of our sys-tem compared with the widely used baseline: On/Off control approach.
