Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDeveloping and Testing Dynamic Models for HVAC Systems Using System Identification ApproachNabil Nassif, Jasmine Buford, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper proposes integrated modeling and optimization methods for a chilled water HVAC system using a system identification approach. Two multiple input-single output models are developed to find the supply air temperature and fan power of the investigated chilled water air handling unit AHU. To test the proposed models, actual data are collected from existing HVAC systems. Different fan and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2017 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleControl Techniques in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) SystemsH. Mirinejad, S. H. Sadati, M. Ghasemian, H. TorabProblem statement: Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are among the main installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The purpose of the HVAC systems is normally to provide a comfortable environment in terms of temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters for the occupants as well as to save energy. Achieving these objectives requires a suitable control system design. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 19,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDeveloping an Integrated Method for Optimal Design of Chilled Water Plants in HVAC SystemsNabil Nassif, Nihal Al Raees, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-LebdehBuildings account for a large portion of energy use in the US. Many those buildings have equipped with central plants to produce chilled water supplied to central air handling units. The chilled water plant design can have a significant impact on building energy uses and costs. In this paper, an integrated method for optimal design of chilled water plants is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCooling Load Prediction in the Under-Actuated Zone with Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural NetworkYaddarabullah, Aedah Abd Rahman, Amna SaadThis study focuses on addressing the challenge of predicting cooling loads in under-actuated zones, where the variability in occupant behavior, environmental conditions, and electronic usage creates complex dynamics. Traditional models like Support Vector Regression (SVR) and E-Lastic-Net (ELN) often struggle to capture these non-linear relationships, leading to inefficient Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) management and increased energy consumption. To … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 27 Jan 2025 · 5,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasurement of Cooling Load-Based Occupant Behavior in Under-Actuated Zones: A Time-Variance ApproachYaddarabullah, Yusuf Maulana Akbar, Aedah Binti Abd Rahman, Amna SaadThis research is dedicated to the enhancement of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems through an innovative investigation of occupant behavior within under-actuated zones. These zones are strategically positioned to elevate indoor air quality and comfort through the intelligent utilization of HVAC systems. However, accurately measuring the cooling loads within these zones, which are inherently influenced by the presence of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2023 · 6,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Intelligent Approach to Develop, Assess and Optimize Energy Consumption Models for Air-Cooled Chillers using Machine Learning AlgorithmsMostafa Tahmasebi, Nabil NassifThe building sector accounts for more than 70% of the total electricity use. Chillers consume more than 50% of electrical energy during seasonal periods of building use. With the growth of the building sector and climate change, it's essential to develop energy-efficient HVAC systems that optimize the ever-increasing energy demand. This study aims to develop an energy consumption prediction model … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 8 Nov 2022 · 5,516 accessesView PDFCite
