Research Abstract	Through this research, I constructed an optimal control system that may be implemented in HVAC system. The system collects data such as weather forecast or indoor environment through the Web or wireless devices, calculates the optimal room temperature trajectories to achieve, for example, minimum peak electrical demand during the daytime, and sends the optimized temperature set-points to the HVAC system. I also proposed a near-optimal control method that is easy to implement and effectively decrease electricity consumption during daytime.
