Abstract
This paper discusses a model-based-controller design for a multi-zone HVAC system for cooling. Air-mass flows of the HVAC system is chosen as input based on the results of optimization on thermal comfort and energy consumption, and we adopt gain-scheduled 𝐻∞ control to design the robust controller for the change of insolation and ambient temperature. In addition, we apply an anti-windup compensation in order to prevent degradation of the control performance under actuator constraints, then we validate the performance of the control system by simulation.
