The main discussion is on, cutting-edge decision making approaches, and algorithms in: decision making under uncertainty, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, agent based modeling, and game theory. These methods are applied to HVAC systems, in order to help designers select the best options among the many available pathways for designing and the building of HVAC systems and applications. The discussion further evolves to depict how the buildings of the future can incorporate these advanced decision-making algorithms to become autonomous and truly ‘smart’.Energy efficiencyBuilding constructionEnergy systemsOperations researchDecision makingEnergy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Building Physics, HVAChttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080Energy Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/115000Operations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Energy efficiency.Building construction.Energy systems.Operations research.Decision making.Energy Efficiency.Building Physics, HVAC.Energy Systems.Operations Research/Decision Theory.658.26Khazaii Javadauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut978142BOOK9910253989503321Advanced Decision Making for HVAC Engineers2294365UNINA
