Abstract :
Considers the potential benefits of model-based control for building internal environments. It is shown that improved regulation is possible, together with energy savings compared with the main control techniques currently widely employed in building energy management systems (BEMS). Successful development and commercial exploitation of these advanced control methods will offer BEMS manufacturers an easily achievable added-value component to their product range, since the implementation hardware is already in place in the majority of cases
