Abstract:
In this paper, a study on decrease of the labor to select devices using environmental control systems is reported. The author indicate two learning algorithms to decrease the labor. One is the latest leaning method where the selected device goes to the top class and the others descend by one class each other. The other is the highest frequency method where the devices line depending upon their selected times. The author compares these two method through simulations. He is unable to find a remarkable difference between the two methods after one hundred simulations. And so, he can't make sure which is better in the end. However, he suggests conditions which are particular to environmental control systems. For example, he suggests a leaning method for environmental control systems where emergency devices, such as, nurse calls, remain almost top classes.
