چکیده

In modern office buildings, the customary trend is to use state of the art technology to ensure the users find it thermally comfortable, among other variables. Among the various statistical studies on comfort index vs. work efficiency of users, the most widely adopted index is the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV). Based on this index, this work proposes a control scheme that shows the capability of neural networks, based on a back-propagation algorithm, for modifying the environmental conditions of a closed indoor space, by regarding not only the climatic indoor variables but also the activity level and clothing index of the space users.

An adaptive estimation method to predict thermal comfort indices man using car classification neural deep belief

Human thermal comfort and discomfort of many experimental and theoretical indices are calculated using the input data the indicator of climatic elements are such as wind speed, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, etc. The daily data of temperature، wind speed، relative humidity، and cloudiness between the years 1382-1392 were used. In the First step، Tmrt parameter was calculated in the Ray...

INTEGRATED ADAPTIVE FUZZY CLUSTERING (IAFC) NEURAL NETWORKS USING FUZZY LEARNING RULES

The proposed IAFC neural networks have both stability and plasticity because theyuse a control structure similar to that of the ART-1(Adaptive Resonance Theory) neural network.The unsupervised IAFC neural network is the unsupervised neural network which uses the fuzzyleaky learning rule. This fuzzy leaky learning rule controls the updating amounts by fuzzymembership values. The supervised IAFC ...

Adaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks

This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...

Decentralized Adaptive Control of Large-Scale Non-affine Nonlinear Time-Delay Systems Using Neural Networks

In this paper, a decentralized adaptive neural controller is proposed for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinear, non-affine subsystems and unknown nonlinear time-delay interconnections. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed through Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability analysis. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approache...
