Buildings for maintaining indoor environmental comfort consumes 40 % of world's energy, causes 40% of carbon emissions as well. This one-third energy share satisfies more than 90 % of inhabitant's, who spend most of their time inside buildings. Since, indoor comfort plays significant role for quality living and poses huge impact to preserve inhabitant's health, morale, working efficiency, productivity and satisfaction. However, building automation possesses the great potential and low cost, energy and carbon reductions. In relation to that, improvement in indoor environmental comfort requires higher energy consumption. Whereas, the primary challenge of control systems is energy savings and comfort index in a building environment are ordinarily differing to each other.
