IoT/AI Control of VRF Distributed Building Air-conditioners

This book describes new energyservice controls of VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) air-conditioners, i.e.,distributed-type air-conditioners for commercial buildings in the near future,in the context of the spread of renewable energy and the reform of the electricpower system. In other words, this book introduces the state-of-the-arttechnology of the next-generation distributed building air-conditioning energyservice system, from IoT cloud control to AI optimal control, as well asstandards for the smart grid supply and demand adjustment market, in aneasy-to-understand manner. The book covers all the cutting-edge technologies ofnext-generation distributed building air-conditioning energy service systems.Each air-conditionermanufacturer provides information in their catalogs and technical documents,but the information is limited to old and simple control contents such asconventional routine operation and shutdown and temperature setting. There hasbeen a strong need for a technical book on state-of-the-art energy servicecontrol for VRF air-conditioners with full use of IoT and AI in the nearfuture.
