Abstrakt: The combination of higher air temperatures with densely urbanized areas is changing the concept of liveability in cities. With more frequent and intense heat waves, the concept of thermal comfort transcends the physical boundaries of buildings. The solution set for future sustainable urban environments must include buildings and their surrounding areas as spaces that can provide comfortable conditions with minimum use of active energy systems. Addressing the comfort of the individual in outdoor environments is being exploited in the Cartuja QANAT. This pilot explores the urban area as a unique space where buildings and surroundings act together to provide a healthy environment for inhabitants using natural-based systems. A conference centre and an amphitheatre are used as a pilot for the testing of an innovative set of passive cooling systems combined with renewable generation. The need to rely on the variability of natural passive cooling sources and renewable energy creates a complex energy system control problem that has never been adequately solved. The control solution will consist of an artificial intelligence control system for energy systems. Where combines the strengths of Model Predictive Control and Reinforcement Learning to perform accurate predictions of space conditions and energy generation and optimize energy systems.
