[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a building HVAC control method with dynamic energy efficiency optimization includes the following steps: Step 1: Deploy a hierarchical distributed sensor network within the building to collect real-time data on temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, and occupant distribution. Initial data processing is performed through edge computing nodes to ensure real-time and reliable data. Step 2: Based on the collected real-time data and the building's digital twin model, a deep learning algorithm is used to establish a thermodynamic characteristic model to accurately predict future load changes in the building. Step 3, based on the thermodynamic characteristics model, combined with energy saving effect, personnel comfort and equipment service life target constraints, the optimal control strategy is generated by using reinforcement learning algorithm to realize dynamic optimization control of equipment operation; Step 4, design a comprehensive safety evaluation system to monitor the compliance of equipment operation, network communication and control instructions in real time, and build a closed-loop dynamic optimization mechanism to continuously optimize control strategy parameters; Step 5, divide the control task into group control layer, regional layer and terminal layer, and establish communication between each layer through standardized interface to realize accurate transmission and execution of instructions; Step 6, design a friendly human-computer interaction interface to show the building operation state, energy consumption analysis and control strategy, support multi-terminal access and remote monitoring.
[0019] The dynamic energy efficiency optimization building HVAC control method disclosed in this embodiment realizes efficient management of temperature, humidity, air quality and energy consumption in the building through a multi-step process, ultimately improving energy utilization efficiency while improving building comfort and equipment life.
[0020] First, in step 1, a hierarchical distributed sensor network is adopted to collect environmental data in real time, and preliminary processing is carried out on the edge computing nodes. This network structure ensures the accuracy and real-time nature of the data, so that it can quickly respond to changes in indoor and outdoor environments. Distributed sensors can comprehensively cover multiple areas within the building, collecting temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and personnel distribution data in real time, ensuring that dynamic information within the building can be obtained. Edge computing processes data on computing nodes closer to sensors, effectively reducing transmission delay and computational burden, improving response speed and data reliability, providing accurate and real-time data support for subsequent control decisions.
[0021] In step 2, based on the collected real-time data and the digital twin model of the building, a thermodynamic characteristics model of the building is constructed through a deep learning algorithm. The digital twin model digitally maps the structure, equipment layout and thermal physical properties of the building, and combined with real-time data, an accurate thermodynamic model can be generated, which can accurately simulate and predict energy efficiency under different load changes. The deep learning algorithm trains a prediction model for future load changes through large-scale historical data, which can identify the rules of temperature changes in the building and the influence of external environment, achieving accurate load prediction. This step combines the thermal characteristics of the building with real-time environmental data to support early control strategies.
[0022] In step 3, the optimal control strategy is generated by combining the thermodynamic property model with energy-saving, comfort, and equipment life target constraints using a reinforcement learning algorithm. Reinforcement learning can adapt to different operating environments and load conditions, dynamically adjusting the operating parameters of the equipment. This algorithm takes energy-saving effect, personnel comfort, and equipment life as multiple targets, continuously optimizing the control strategy through trial and error and feedback, and maintaining the best operating state in a changing environment. Through this learning method, the maximum energy utilization efficiency can be achieved, unnecessary energy consumption is reduced, and the working life of the equipment is extended.
[0023] Step 4 designs a comprehensive safety assessment system to monitor the compliance of equipment operation, network communication, and control instructions in real time, and builds a closed-loop dynamic optimization mechanism to continuously optimize control strategy parameters. This ensures the safety and compliance of each control strategy, and through the closed-loop feedback mechanism, real-time collection of equipment operation data, identification of possible abnormalities or potential failures, and adjustment of control strategy parameters, the reliability and stability are maximized. The security monitoring of network communication has the ability to defend against possible network attacks and data hijacking, ensuring the safe operation of the entire HVAC system.
[0024] In step 5, by dividing the control task into group control layer, regional layer, and terminal layer, a standardized interface between different levels is established. The group control layer is responsible for global strategy formulation, the regional layer controls specific regions, and the terminal layer executes specific control instructions. This hierarchical architecture enhances the flexibility and accuracy of the control mechanism, allowing different regions to adaptively regulate according to specific environmental needs, ensuring individual region comfort and optimizing overall energy efficiency. The application of standardized interfaces improves the accuracy of data and instruction transmission between different control layers, making communication and cooperation between layers smoother.
[0025] Finally, step 6 designs a friendly human-machine interface to display building operation status, energy consumption analysis, and control strategy, allowing managers to intuitively understand the energy efficiency of the building. The interface supports multi-terminal access and remote monitoring, allowing managers to control and monitor at any time and anywhere. The multi-terminal design improves usability, ensuring real-time information acquisition and rapid response. This function not only facilitates the operation of managers, but also provides more flexible control means for building energy efficiency management.
[0026] Overall, this dynamic energy efficiency optimization building HVAC control method builds an efficient, stable, and safe building energy efficiency management system through multi-dimensional data collection, model prediction, intelligent control, and hierarchical architecture. The entire system combines real-time data with machine learning technology to maximize energy savings while ensuring comfort, while also having strong adaptability and intelligence levels to effectively respond to different building environments and energy consumption needs, providing an innovative solution for intelligent building HVAC systems.

[0028] In summary, the decomposition and implementation of step 1 lay a solid foundation for efficient control. From the scientific layout of sensors, to calibration and installation, deployment of edge computing nodes, lightweight data processing, and construction of data quality control system, each step improves the accuracy of data collection and the response speed of the system. These measures ensure the timeliness, accuracy and reliability of the data, and can flexibly and efficiently operate under different environmental conditions, thereby realizing the intelligentization and energy optimization of building HVAC systems.
[0029] Further, step 2 includes the following steps: Integrate building real-time operation data and weather forecast data to build a complete data set; Build a digital twin model based on building information model to accurately restore the physical characteristics of the building and realize dynamic visual monitoring of the building state; Design a deep learning model and integrate the physical characteristics parameters of the building into it, and continuously optimize the loss function and adjust the model parameters to accurately capture the thermodynamic change law of the building; Quantitatively evaluate the model performance and continuously iterate and optimize based on the evaluation results to continuously improve the prediction accuracy.
[0030] Overall, step 2 achieves efficient prediction of building thermodynamic characteristics through multi-level data integration, dynamic modeling, and model optimization, laying a solid foundation for intelligent control of HVAC systems. Each sub-step complements each other, from data collection, model construction to prediction optimization, forming a closed-loop prediction system. Complete data set, accurate digital twin and application of deep learning algorithm, thus have advanced prediction ability and adaptability. With this prediction model, building HVAC systems can maximize energy efficiency while ensuring indoor comfort, meeting the dual needs of energy saving and efficient operation of modern buildings.
[0031] Further, the optimization objective of the loss function is represented as: where, and are weight coefficients used to balance the influence between data fitting error, physical constraint term and regularization term; is the true observation value; is the model prediction value; represents the weight of different thermodynamic indicators, which is used to strengthen the attention to energy consumption; represents the temperature at a certain point; is the thermal diffusivity; represents the parameter set of the model; is the number of data samples used to train the model; represents the number of spatial points used to calculate the thermodynamic law constraints; is the gradient operator used to calculate the partial derivative; represents the Laplacian operator of the temperature at position .
[0032] In summary, the weight of different thermodynamic indicators in this optimization objective is particularly used to enhance the attention to energy consumption. This part of the setting makes the model pay more attention to energy-related thermodynamic variables in the optimization process, thereby better serving the dynamic energy-saving needs of HVAC systems. This comprehensive multi-constraint and objective loss function design enables the model to achieve high-precision prediction while maintaining good robustness and energy efficiency.
[0033] Further, step 3 includes the following steps: Establish a multi-objective optimization framework, taking energy saving effect, personnel comfort and equipment service life as key optimization indicators; Convert the optimization objective into a unified reward function through weight configuration, which serves as the optimization objective of the reinforcement learning algorithm; Build a reinforcement learning environment, taking the building thermodynamic characteristics model as the environment model, and define the state space and action space; Design and train a deep reinforcement learning agent that continuously interacts with an environment model to learn the optimal control strategy to find the best balance between energy efficiency, comfort, and equipment lifespan. A hierarchical control architecture is established, dividing the control strategy into two levels: long-term planning and short-term execution. The long-term planning layer generates an overall control plan based on weather forecasts and user demand predictions; the short-term execution layer dynamically adjusts and optimizes control instructions based on real-time status and disturbances.
[0034] In summary, Step 3 achieves intelligent control of the building's HVAC system through the combined application of a multi-objective optimization framework, a reinforcement learning algorithm, and a hierarchical control architecture. The multi-objective optimization framework balances energy conservation, comfort, and equipment lifespan, while the reinforcement learning algorithm enhances adaptability and flexibility. The hierarchical control architecture provides coordinated long- and short-term control, meeting user needs while better adapting to the dynamic changes in complex environments. This innovative optimization approach significantly improves the energy efficiency, comfort, and equipment stability of the building's HVAC system, meeting the requirements of modern buildings for high efficiency, energy conservation, and intelligence.
[0035] Furthermore, the unified reward function is expressed as follows: ,in, In state Take action The reward value reflects the effect of the control strategy in the current state; is the weight of the energy efficiency target, indicating the importance of energy efficiency to the reward in the overall optimization; is the weight of the comfort objective, indicating the importance of comfort to the reward in the overall optimization; is the weight of the equipment life target, which indicates the importance of equipment life to the reward in the overall optimization; Indicates the target energy efficiency value, which is the ideal energy consumption level that the building is expected to achieve during operation; Indicates that the status Take action Actual energy efficiency indicators at the time of implementation; Indicates the target comfort value, which is the ideal comfort standard to be achieved; Indicates that the status Take action Actual comfort index when Indicates that the status Take action Equipment service life indicator when
[0036] In this formula, the combination of the three terms weighs energy saving, comfort, and equipment life. The agent optimizes its control strategy through this reward function to meet energy saving requirements while ensuring comfort and extending equipment life. In practical applications, the proportion of , and can be adjusted based on the building's needs to form a flexible optimization control strategy. For example, when the building operates under an energy-saving priority strategy, the weight of can be increased, and when the comfort needs of personnel are high, the proportion of can be increased. In addition, the design of this reward function can also optimize the weight settings through multiple training and fine-tuning to more accurately reflect the building control needs in actual use.
