Fuzzy control system for regulation of integrated shading and ventilation

Automated living and working environment is becominga commonly used service. The present paper deals with a dynamically automated control of shading in buildings during mid-seasons. In addition to shading the controller also regulates illuminance levels, internaltemperatures and their harmonization. The system is designed as fuzzy controller that functions in real time and under real environmental conditions. For this purposea test chamber with an opening on the southern side was built. Changeable geometry of the opening was realized with the automated external roller blind. Proper functioning as well as fine-tuning of the regulatorwas achieved through a series of tests conducted during spring time. The experiments justified the use of automated shading for the control of internal temperaturesduring mid-seasons.
