本报告描述了ASHRAE研究项目642-RP“基于知识的暖通空调系统选型系统”下开展的工作。该研究项目由计算机应用TC 1.5监控。该项目的目标是开发一个基于知识的系统，为寒冷和炎热/潮湿两个气候区域的小型办公楼选择供暖、通风和空调系统类型和组件。专家系统的知识获取是通过与专家的个人访谈、文献综述和案例研究来完成的。所获得的知识被结构化、组织并编码到程序中。该程序使用专家系统shell开发，然后由ASHRAE成员验证。

This report describes the work performed under ASHRAE Research Project 642-RP "Knowledge-Based System for HVAC System Type Selection". The research project was monitored by TC 1.5, Computer Applications. The objective of this project was to develop a knowledge-based system that will select a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system type and components for small office buildings in two climatic regions: cold and hot/humid. The knowledge acquisition for the expert system was accomplished by personal interviews with experts, literature reviews, and case studies. The acquired knowledge was structured, organized, and encoded into the program. The program was developed using an expert system, shell and then validated by ASHRAE members.
