Abstract
In this thesis Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic models of the building energy use predictions were created. Data collected from a Hawaian 42 storey commercial building chiller plant power consumption and independent hourly climate data were obtained from the National Climate Data Center of the USA. These data were used in both ANN and the fuzzy model setting up and testing. The tropical climate data consisted of dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, dew point temperature, relative humidity percentage, wind speed and wind direction.Both input variables and the output variable of the central chiller plant power consumption were fuzzified, and fuzzy membership functions were employed. The Mamdani fuzzy rules (32 rule) in If .Then format with the centre of gravity (COG; centroid) defuzzification were employed. The average percentage error levels in the fuzzy model and the ANN model were end up with 11.6% (R2.0.88) and 10.3% (R2.0.87), respectively. The fuzzy model is successfully presented for predicting chiller plant energy use in tropical climates with small seasonal and daily variations that makes this fuzzy model.
