Abstract
In this work a systematic procedure for the modelling and simulation of an HVAC (Heat Ventilating and Air Conditioning) thermal system is reported. The dynamic behaviour of each element, not only on its own but also as part of the whole process, is analysed and tested. The basic principles of energy conservation and heat transmission are applied to model the various processes that usually occur in thermal installations. An experimental building was used to evaluate the proposed energy control; it was also used to identify methods for modelling both particular elements and the whole system. Following validation of the model, new control strategies for the process, with classic and advanced algorithms and procedures, are proposed with a view to achieving both comfort and important energy savings.
