Abstract
The present paper compares classical control systems with knowledge-based systems in the control of building designs to achieved comfort conditions. Initially the goal has been the minimization of energy usage. For this target, thermostats and PID controllers have been employed. Adaptive and ad hoc first-generation controller implemented for the improvement of specific problems are described next. The achievement of thermal and visual comfort conditions within living and working space fits the application of fuzzy logic expert systems. The structure of a fuzzy control system is described. This paper also discusses the capabilities of the fuzzy logic expert system in the achievement of optimal resource management in passive-building designs.
