Blinds of Tomorrow-Split blinds design & Artificial neuron network controlling system

Project Description

Commercially available blinds are occasionally part of the building’s thermal and lighting environmental control systems. Inappropriate application of blinds increases the use of electrical lighting, cooling loads for a building and consequently, the total energy consumption. The purpose of this design was to develop a new, automated, split control system for adjusting blinds. This system adjusts the blinds for different tilt angles at a particular point in time depending on the position of the blinds within the height of the window. The research objectives were: (1) developing a framework for the automated split control of blinds, (2) developing a control algorithm for a split system
