Consumption performance, of a multi agent system used to achieve comfort preferences

Abstract

In this work, a multi-agent system was developed to manage comfort preferences, in an autonomous and completely automatic and non-invasive way for the user. This system was based on the use of an architecture supported by low cost hardware, namely Raspberrys, to support the different actuators present in the different spaces. To carry out its validation, a methodology was created to analyze consumption performance, and the results obtained in two scenarios are demonstrated here, a domestic housing scenario, and a professional environment scenario. The results obtained were quite positive for the prototype developed, and validate the option of using low cost hardware.
