Abstract

To control the room temperature normally special developed and adapted controllers are used. This development is both time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, this paper shows the first steps to achieve the goal of developing a methodology to provide rules and guidelines for typical use cases of those controllers with regard to given rooms and their installed HVAC technology. Thereby it should be possible to choose suitable controllers for a wide range of rooms without the necessity of an expensive development process. To achieve this goal a simulation study will be performed. This paper presents first steps of this investigation. This includes the choice development of four different, representative room models as well as five controller models of important controller types. Simulations of well defined scenarios analyze the eligibility of the controller models regarding net energy consumption and comfort. First optimization results to improve the quality of the controllers are shown and further steps are explained.
