Abstract :
The optimal control system derived previously [1], [6] calls for sensing the room temperature TR, the wall surface temperature Tw, and the heat exchanger wall temperature Te. This correspondence summarizes the development of a suboptimum heating system, which 1) can be implemented practically, 2) is acceptable economically, and 3) yields improved performance compared to the conventional system.
