Interior blinds systems have been introduced to provide visual and thermal comfort as well as to reduce energy use in buildings. A wide variety of such systems exist in terms of thermal and optical properties, location(exterior, interior), physical configuration(size, distance) of the blind slats. The current problem with blinds is that their operation is not based on the dynamics of the room(space) but based on the static or manual control operated by occupants, although many studies recognized that dynamic control far outperforms static control. One of the reasons is that it is not easy to combine the room dynamics with any possible optimization algorithm. Hence, In this study, A whole building simulation program EnergyPlus and MATLAB optimization toolbox were integrated to solve for optimal control of interior blind systems. the paper addresses difference between static vs. dynamic control of interior blind systems in office buildings. |
