Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a method to determine the optimal stop time of HVAC using the Artificial Neural Network model, which is one of the learning methods. For this, the performance of determining the stop time of HVAC for unexperienced learning data was evaluated, and time interval for measurement of input data and permissible error needed for practical application of ANN model were presented using the results from daily simulation.
