摘要
In this study, a heat pump satisfies the heating and cooling needs of a building, and two water tanks store heat and cold respectively. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a model-free control approach that can learn from the behaviour of the occupants, weather conditions, and the thermal behaviour of the building in order to make near-optimal decisions. In this work we use of a specific RL technique called batch Q-learning, and integrate it into the urban building energy simulator CitySim. The goal of the controller is to reduce the energy consumption while maintaining adequate comfort temperatures. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
