A smart house design has been an important research paradigm relying on information and current communication technology development. Although making use of environmental sensors, information, communication and internet technologies have inspired the creation of smart equipment; the question of 'How to satisfy occupants’ needs' is still an important issue for making living space smart. An intelligent agent, as a knowledge representation tool for computing and communication functions, is an autonomous software program of artificial intelligence. This paper proposes to build adaptive environmental agents, which are able to actively detect different situations and make optimum decisions relying on fuzzy-logic, inferring and adapting their functions to meet environmental variations and different occupants’ needs, following neuro-fuzzy learning. This research explored potentials of a smart house envelope and proposes three key elements for system integration: (1) intelligent agent, (2) context-awareness, and (3) fuzzy theory. This research discovers that correspondent relationships and experimental transmissions between occupants and environments make environmental agents’ user experience-oriented, with context-awareness abilities based on the smart envelope prototype’s construction, evaluation and analysis. |
