Design and Simulation of Intelligent Central Heating System for Smart Buildings in Smart City

Abstract

Today, energy efficiency for a buildings is ensured by a systematic reduction in demand for heating and cooling. The energy consumption in the buildings such as universities, schools, private schools, hospitals, and public institutions are increasing day by day. Approximately 20-40% of the total energy consumption in the world is building systems thus the need of energy saving is increasing. In this study, a control system was designed and simulated in buildings by using central heating system to reduce energy consumption. It is possible to control and monitor the heat energy consumption of building by using the Fuzzy Control System which is one of the artificial intelligence control systems. The proposed model for an intelligent building reduces the energy consumption by improving the comfort of the people inside the building. The proposed model was simulated and implemented by taking the model of Adiyaman University Vocational School. The results show that the use of water flow rate decreases with acceptable rate without disturbing the comfort of the people in the building.
