Perekrest A. Methods and means of creating highly efficient computerised systems for automatic control of thermal comfort parameters in buildings

The study solves a relevant scientific and technical problem of creating theoretical foundations for creation of highly efficient computerised systems for automatic control of thermal comfort parameters in buildings based on information technologies of primary and secondary system transformations and intellectualised methods of collecting and processing information to improve decision-making on energy efficiency in civil buildings. The structure, software, hardware solutions and criteria for the operation of a computerised thermal comfort automatic control systems for various purposes buildings for providing a reduction in thermal energy consumption for their heating in compliance with regulatory parameters of energy efficiency and comfort were synthesised. Methodological means of information processing and software models of buildings information ranking, which provide optimisation of the space interconnected coordinates of comfort and energy resources use efficiency were developed. On the basis of comparative analysis of various machine learning methods, clustering and classifying models of municipal buildings heat consumption open data set have been developed, which increases the efficiency and reliability of the analysis during the energy management services operation. Models for the building heating systems dynamic processes identification, predictive models and a heating control method based on maximum efficiency criterion were developed, thus it provides support for decision-making by an energy manager in processes managing of ensuring thermal comfort in civil buildings. A method for ensuring thermal comfort in the educational buildings premises through computerised control of ventilation devices, local air heating and airflows redistribution was proposed. Experimental studies confirmed method efficiency and effectiveness. Informational and analytical, algorithmic and software solutions which simplify the procedures for the building thermomodernisation solutions implementation effectiveness assessing, conducting energy audits and certification of their energy efficiency, and also demonstrates the positive effects of building engineering systems modernisation were developed. The research results are implemented in the design decisions on modernisation of the building heating system of Ferrexpo Poltava Mining, in the practice of various purposes municipal buildings operation, in the energy management department of the Executive Committee of Kremenchug City Council, in the educational process of Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University.
