点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This research aims to investigate how to improve the control of the built environment through the use of inferential sensors and inferential control schemes. Through this research, new knowledge on building automation, environmental monitoring, and assessment of the built environment will be generated. The short-term objectives are to enhance current building control algorithms and schemes through the development and use of inferential sensor and inferential control technology and to develop a widely accepted method and experimental facility for testing the performance of building automation devices and systems. The long-term objectives are to study mathematic and physical fundamentals of inferential sensing and inferential control technology and to understand their impacts on the classic control theory.
