Fig. 22 The course of predicted values of CO2 (ppm) with ANN LMA in room R104. Figure 23 shows controlling of blinds with voice commands in room R104 (Figs. 3, 17) with indicated and confirmed times of arrival and departure in/from room R104.
For control of the blinds, the control of the upward/downward movement of the blinds, movement of the blinds to a certain height and change in the inclination of the blind slats were tested.
This research offers a new approach for the automated control of split blinds and a guide for future research to utilize the adaptive nature of ANNs to develop a more practical and applicable blind control system.
Further details about the installation and control of heaters, blinding of participants, and the randomization procedure are provided in the Supplemental Material (doi 10.1289/ehp.1002186).
The functionality of the HESTIA application was verified in SHC, where the control of lighting and blinds were tested.
Another possibility to prevent the building from summer overheating is intelligent control of shutters and blinds: closing shutters in unoccupied rooms can create an additional layer of insulation against sun-rays and therefore lower the sun's impact on room temperature.
This model is able to simulate control of lighting, sun-blinds and air conditioning.
Results from the study are helpful in the development of control strategies for blinds and are indications of how blinds should be treated in building design.
a Based on the ACOEM criteria, this study protocol is intended to provide a high-quality score (Randomization – 1, Blinded Allocation – 1, Baseline Comparability – 1, Patient blinding – 1, Interventionist blinding – 0, Assessor Blinding – 1, Control of co-interventions – 0.5, Compliance – 1.0, Drop Out < 20% – 1, Timing of assessments – 1, ITT analysis – 1 (Total score 9.5/11) High-quality ≥ 8.0.
We evaluated patients' and physicians' expectations of the effect of the interventions on return-to-work in intervention and control groups to control for the lack of blinding.
Double-blind control of the data manager didn't improve data entry reliability.
