  2. 1. Modelling and Intelligent Climate Control of Buildings

    Author : Mohsen Soleimani Mohseni; Bertil Thomas; Lennart Jagemar; Geoffrey Levermore; Chalmers University of technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neural networks; indoor climate control; operative temperature; demand controlled ventilation; prediction; feed-forward control;

    Abstract : The main purpose of the work presented in this thesis is to examine the possibilities of different control techniques together with intelligent building technology to improve the indoor climate and/or the energy efficiency of buildings. In particular, the possibilities of measuring more variables and using them as input to the controllers are examined. READ MORE

  4. 2. Rainfall-Runoff Modelling Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)

    Author : Aman Mohammad Kalteh; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Self-organizing map; Feed-forward multilayer perceptron; Forecasting; Hydrological modelling; Missing values; Rainfall-runoff modelling; Estimation; Artificial neural networks;

    Abstract : Over the last decades or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools for modelling hydrological processes such as rainfall-runoff processes. In most studies, ANNs have been demonstrated to show superior result compared to the traditional modelling approaches. READ MORE
