描述了在黑板系统上使用多个协作知识源（MCK）的交互来创建一个专门设计用于解决建筑热能系统设计任务的专家系统外壳。探讨了以下主题:1）使用面向对象的黑板数据表示设计人工制品，与图纸、数据库和投标规范紧密耦合；2）高效灵活的控制体系结构，为特定任务组织知识源，并在设计项目执行期间加强一致性和完整性。 以太阳能生活热水系统的设计为例进行了介绍。还讨论了在职设计工程师在开发模块化暖通空调设计知识源方面的经验。关键词:专家系统，设计，建筑，供暖，太阳能供暖，家用，热水供应。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第96卷，pt。1990年3月2日，圣路易斯

Describes the use of the interaction of multiple cooperating knowledge sources (MCKS) on a blackboard system to create an expert system shell specifically designed to address the task of designing thermal energy systems for buildings. Explores the themes of 1) the use of an object-oriented blackboard data representation for design artefacts with tightly coupled links to drawings, databases and bid specifications, 2) an efficient and flexible control architecture which organises knowledge sources for particular tasks and enforces consistency and completeness during the execution of a design project. Presents the design of a solar domestic hot water system as an example application. Also discusses the experiences of working design engineers in developing modular HVAC design knowledge sources.KEYWORDS: Expert systems, designing, buildings, heating, solar heating, domestic, hot water supply.
