A Subjective Adaptive Approach for Comfort in Indoor Environments Based on Multi-agent Systems

摘要

Thermal comfort conditions in the built environment are strictly related not only to the thermal and geometric building features and to air-conditioning systems,but also to the building using profile and to the biological-metabolic-psychological characteristics of the users.Consequently it is useful to formalize new models,both subjective and adaptive to the environmental scenery,in a particular holistic vision of the problem,strongly addressed towards the personalization of the service.Through the paper the characterization of a model,enriching that proposed by Fanger with an adaptive approach,is carried out using a Multi Agent System (MAS),an Intelligent Agent able to follow user in his own needs and preferences and to adapt to the changes of context variables.
