DREAM Seminar: Co-design of Control Algorithm and Embedded Platform for Building HVAC Systems

Seminar | May 21 | 4:10-5 p.m. | 490H Cory Hall

Speaker/Performer: Mehdi Maasoumy, EECS, UC Berkeley

Sponsor: Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)

Abstract:
The design of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is crucial for reducing energy consumption in buildings. As complex cyber-physical systems, HVAC systems involve three closely-related subsystems – the control algorithm, the physical building and environment and the embedded implementation platform. In the traditional topdown approach, the control algorithm and......   More >
