Abstract

In this study, the control characteristics and effects of control methods on heating performance and energy consumption for the hot water floor radiant heating control system of a residential apartment were research by experiment. As a control method, On-Off control and outdoor reset control methods with GRNN(General Regression Neural Network) and without GRNN are considered. Also, the control performances with regard to improvement of indoor thermal environment and reduction of energy consumption are compared, respectively. Experiment results show that the performance of the control method with GRNN is better than that of conventional on-off control method without GRNN in the responses of room set temperature and energy saving.
