For a building with Concrete Core Activation (CCA), the potential of MPC is assessed and the parameters (prediction values of ambient temperature, solar radiation and occupancy; measurement accuracy of zone and CCA temperatures; cost function values of the CCA or AHU production units; system constraints such as available thermal power of the production units) are varied within typical uncertainty ranges and the change in control performance is investigated. The resulting parameter ranking serves as a priority list for future improvement of MPC robustness. Pages: 2474 - 2480 Paper:
