Abstract: Modern buildings are complex systems of structures and technology aimed at providing a safe and comfortable environment for the occupants. Recent advances in information and communication technologies have generated significant interest in developing smart buildings, which provide much greater capabilities in terms of energy efficiency, safety, security, interactivity, as well as in terms of mitigating environmental impact. New components for smart buildings, such as sensors, actuators, controllers, embedded systems and wireless communications, are becoming readily available. Moreover, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology is already having a significant impact on developments related to smart buildings. The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of current advances in smart buildings and key challenges in the years ahead. Specific emphasis is given to issues related to the “intelligence” inside the smart buildings, and how they can serve as a platform for computational intelligence concepts and methodologies. Various estimation, learning and feedback control algorithms will be presented and illustrated, and directions for future research will be discussed.
Biosketch: Marios Polycarpou is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Director of the KIOS Research Center for Intelligent Systems and Networks at the University of Cyprus. He received undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and in Electrical Engineering, both from Rice University, USA in 1987, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California, in 1989 and 1992 respectively.
