In this paper we consider the optimum control of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The objective of the control is to balance energy efficiency, against user comfort. The HVAC system it self is nonlinear, and the cost function to be minimized, non-quadratic. Both adaptive and non-adaptive strategies are given.
