Study and comparison of technologies in home and building electronic systems by fuzzy logic

Abstract

Nowadays, there exist in market many systems of automation, energy management and security for housings and buildings (domotics systems). In many occasions the engineer find difficult to decide what system to choose due to the multiple factors that have to be taken into account in the decision. This work considers the most outstanding factors for the decision taking, which constitutes the input variables of a Fuzzy model developed in order to help in that decision, where the output variables measure the grade of adaptation of the system to the home. A high number of rules are defined to develop the inference and to generate the appropriate output values. The proposed model is developed with the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of MATLAB, and is evaluated on ten different cases, which are presented in order to show the methodology, the behaviour of the model and the results.
