Abstract
Natural ventilation has the advantage of being able to supply different amounts of outdoor air to different zones and thus reducing occupant exposure to contaminants. However, since the interaction between the interior and exterior of the building plays an important role in determining natural ventilation airflow paths, natural ventilation in each zone cannot be treated as a decentralized problem. To develop a centralized controller for an intelligent natural ventilation scheme, we present a strategy for choosing the performance measure or the objective function. We also briefly describe how the objective function is used to construct the intelligent controller.
