English abstract:
This paper presents an effort to implement a novel predictive control approach toward the
utilization of passive cooling in an existing office building. Three almost identical office
rooms in this building were selected for the implementation. Two offices were used for
simulation-based predictive control of window and blind operation, whereas the third office
was used as a reference. The control strategy was based on the simulation-based prediction of
the implications of different operation schemes. The paper describes the approach in detail
and presents results so far.
