Validation of a building simulation tool for predictive control in energy management systems
… is the building energy management system (BEMS), the central platform which manages and coordinates all the building monitoring and control subsystems, such as heating and lighting loads. There is often a disconnect between the BEMS and the building it is installed in, leading to …

Advanced controllers for building energy management systems. Advanced controllers based on traditional mathematical methods (MIMO P+I, state-space, adaptive solutions with constraints) and intelligent solutions (fuzzy logic and genetic algorithms) are investigated for humidifying, ventilating and air-conditioning applications.
… for building energy management systems (BEMS). The controllers considered include the multi PI-loop controllers, state-space designs, constrained input and output MIMO adaptive controllers, fuzzy logic solutions and genetic algorithm techniques. The control performances of the designs …

Influence of Feeding History on Metabolic Rates in Fishes: Evidence for Metabolic Compensation in Largemouth Bass (Micropterus salmoides)
… Despite the popularity of bioenergetics models (BEMs), efforts to evaluate the accuracy of their predictions are often met with mixed success. Indeed, accuracy of BEM estimates varies with feeding rate of fishes and may be associated with error in measuring fish metabolism. Metabolic rate of …
