The role of ventilation systems is to ensure and maintain optimal microclimate conditions in industrial spaces, by controlling temperature, humidity, dust concentration and gaseous substances, within limits compatible with comfort and safety requirements. At the same time, these systems must respect permissible noise levels and air circulation speed, so as not to affect the well-being of users. In order to achieve the prescribed parameters of indoor air (temperature, pressure and humidity), it is previously subjec...

This paper presents the development and experimental validation of an intelligent variable-structure control system for optimizing industrial ventilation in ATEX (ATmospheres EXplosibles) environments. Current ventilation solutions, based on continuous maximum-flow operation, consume 15 to 40 percent of total industrial hall energy and remain largely reactive to hazardous atmosphere formation. The proposed system integrates Model Predictive Control (MPC) with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms and a spatia...
