When it comes to HVAC systems installed in buildings where human beings are present, comfort, ease of use and power consumption are the topics that matter the most. Advances in technological inventions have led to HVAC systems that meet even the most demanding requirements. However, there is always room for more improvements.One aspect of HVAC systems that has gathered significant attention in recent years, is power consumption and its associated economic impact to the users. As stated by European Union, energy prices have reached all-time highs in 2022 as they were directly affected by the price of gas. New measures to cut down energy bills have been introduced.One of them, is the obligation for EU countries to reduce consumption by at least 5% during peak hours.In this work, taking in consideration the needs of the consumers, the energy crisis that EU and the whole world is facing as well as the need to reduce emissions to preserve a better environment for the future generations, we try making the first steps of transitioning from theory to practice aiming to bring a solution to these problems. This research focuses on implementing an algorithm that aims to provide better control and less power consumption, thereby lowering energy bills, to a real-world controller with the aim to create a smart Building Manage ment Systems (BMS).The development of the BMS involves several steps. It begins with understanding the basic concepts of the algorithm, then finding out how it can be implemented in a real controller.Next steps involve gathering the appropriate equipment and knowledge background, focusing on specific parts since implementing a fully functional BMS system requires a lot of time, effort and resources. The final steps include conducting tests, gathering results and proposing further improvements.
