Automatic set-point control of an HVAC system using Arduino for efficient and rational energy consumption

Abstract

Los sistemas de calefacción, ventilación y aire acondicionado (HVAC), son tecnologías desarrolladas para brindar confort ambiental en un recinto cerrado. En ciudades con altas temperaturas el consumo energético de un sistema HVAC puede aumentar considerablemente, e inclusive, impedir que el sistema logre la temperatura deseada (set-point). Por esto, se desarrolla un control automático del set-point para sistemas de HVAC a través de la plataforma Arduino que permita un consumo energético eficiente y racional.Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are technologies developed to provide environmental comfort indoors. In cities with high temperatures, the energy consumption of an HVAC system can considerably increase, even prevent the system from achieving the desired temperature. For this, we present an automatic linear control of the point system for HVAC systems through the Arduino platform that allows an efficient and rational energy consumption
