It presents a comprehensive exploration of the design, development and implementation of several advanced control systems that maintain users' comfort (thermal and indoor air quality) whilst minimizing energy consumption. The book includes a detailed account of the latest cutting edge developments in this area, and presents several control systems based on Model Predictive Control approaches. Real-life examples are provided, and the book is supplemented by illustrations, tables, all of which facilitate understanding of the text. Energy consumption in buildings (residential and non-residential) represents almost the half of the total world energy consumption, and they are also responsible for approximately 35% of CO2 emissions. For these reasons, the reduction of energy consumption associated with the construction and use of buildings, and the increase of energy efficiency in their climatic refurbishment are frequently studied topics in academia and industry. As the productivity of users is directly related to their comfort, a middle ground needs to be found between comfort of users and energy efficiency. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to develop innovation and technology which can provide comfortable environments with minimum energy consumption. This book is intended for researchers interested in control engineering, energy and bioclimatic buildings, and for architects and process control engineers. It is also accessible to postgraduate students embarking on a career in this area, particularly those studying architecture. 410 0$aAdvances in Industrial Control,$x1430-9491 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aBuilding construction 606 $aControl engineering 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aBuilding Physics, HVAC$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23080 606 $aControl and Systems Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 615 0$aEnergy efficiency. 615 0$aBuilding construction. 615 0$aControl engineering. 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 14$aEnergy Efficiency. 615 24$aBuilding Physics, HVAC. 615 24$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 676 $a696 700 $aCastilla$b María del Mar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0978141 702 $aÁlvarez$b José Domingo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aRodríguez$b Francisco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBerenguel$b Manuel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299623403321 996 $aComfort Control in Buildings$92228350 997 $aUNINA
