Fuzzy model for decision taking of technologies in home and building electronic systems

Resumen

Many systems of automation, energy management, and security for housings and buildings exist nowadays, and the determination of the most appropriate one depends on multiple factors. This work, based on a previous analysis, presents a fuzzy model that allows evaluating these different systems in order to choose automatically one of them. The model considers the most outstanding factors for the selection as input variables of a fuzzy model, where the output variables measure the grade of adaptation of every system. A high number of rules are defined to develop the inference and generate the output values, and these outputs are analysed depending on pairs of inputs, in order to know their sensitivity. The proposed model is developed with the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of MATLAB, and is evaluated on ten different cases, which are presented in order to show the methodology, the behaviour of the model and the results. © 2008 IEEE.
