Application of Artificial Neural Network in Intelligent Building

Intelligent Buildings (IB) has not been adopted as quickly and widely as expected. One of the reasons for this is the lack of information and technology support to IB subsystem involved. This paper redefines the concept and connotation of IB, analyzes the influence of ANN on the development of IB, analyses many subsystems of IB which are time-variant nonlinearity complex system, discusses the role of learning in IB control systems, and further elaborates on the application of ANN in the construction of system model, designing control, and the intelligent air-conditioning. Based on the above issues, this paper constructs a system model of IB. Some applications of ANN technology and fuzzy control in IB and the design of intelligent controlling system are discussed. The proposed model will be helpful to solve the existing problems in intelligent building.
