Describes the process of designing a supervisory control to provide thermal comfort and adequate air distribution inside a single-sided naturally ventilated test room. The controller is based on fuzzy logic reasoning. Inputs are the outside wind velocity, direction, outside and inside temperatures. Output is the opening position. The strategy is then validated using experimental data from a naturally ventilated test room. Presents the initial results of the study, which show that the controller is capable of providing better thermal comfort inside the room.
