An experimental system for advanced heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) control

Few controllers have been tested on physical terms, their investigation has been limited to proposals and simulations. The construction and modeling of an experimental system for testing advanced HVAC controllers, is the aim of that paper. A simple integrated environment is created for data aquisition, controller design, simulation and closed loop controller implementation and testing. That environment is adequate for rapid prototyping of various controllers and control design methodologies.
