Abstract

Conventional air conditioners consume constant wattage when they are operating. The
consumption of electricity can be lowered using artificial intelligence for controlling air
conditioners. In this research project, fuzzy logic control has been used for making an
intelligent air conditioner controller. This controller has two inputs: temperature and humidity
and one output: power. Triangular membership functions have been used for fuzzification of
inputs. Mamdani inference engine has been used for mapping inputs to fuzzified output. The
crisp value of output has been obtained using centre average defuzzifier. The results suggest
that there is a potential in saving electricity using fuzzy logic control for air conditioners.
