建筑占全球能源消耗和二氧化碳排放约三分之一。优化室内气候系统对实现联合国可持续发展目标11和13至关重要。然而,室内热响应延迟与观测不全严重制约现有方法,主要受限于隐式热惯性、人员动态预测及累积误差,尤其在分布外(OOD)环境中表现不佳。实际中,密集传感成本高且涉及隐私,导致仅能在单一运行模式下收集有限数据,却要求控制器能可靠泛化至未见季节与气候区域。为此,我们提出ADAPT:一种面向暖通空调(HVAC)控制的物理感知条件扩散世界模型。该模型通过预测短时持行动态热基线,捕捉建筑潜在热惯性。扩散主干利用生成模型的鲁棒性,而可学习的多区域热平衡正则化器确保生成轨迹满足可迁移的建筑热力学规律,无需已知建筑几何或人工校准热参数。下游强化学习采用信用分配机制。在SemibuildingSim与Sinergym上的大量实验表明,相较于最先进方法,ADAPT在同分布(IID)控制下降低7.3%能耗,减少30.2%用户不适;在跨越未见季节与气候区域的分布外场景中,性能仅轻微下降,显著优于现有方法的迁移鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Buildings account for roughly one-third of global energy consumption and CO$_2$ emissions. Optimizing indoor climate systems plays a critical role for urban climate mitigation aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals 11 and 13. However, indoor delayed thermodynamic responses and partial observability severely hinder existing methods, which are primarily limited by implicit thermal inertia, occupancy dynamic prediction, and cumulative prediction errors, especially for out-of-distribution environments. In practice, these challenges are further exacerbated by the high cost and privacy burden of dense indoor sensing, forcing operators to collect only limited data in a single operating regime while expecting controllers to generalize reliably across unseen seasons and climate regions. To address this problem, we propose ADAPT, a physics-aware conditional diffusion indoor environmental world model for HVAC control. The model predicts a short-horizon held-action thermal baseline to capture the latent thermal inertia of the buildings. The diffusion backbone utilizes the robustness of generative models, while a learnable multi-zone heat-balance regularizer constrains generated trajectories to satisfy transferable building thermodynamics without requiring known building geometry or manually calibrated thermal parameters. A credit assignment is then design for the downstream reinforcement learning. Extensive experiments on SemibuildingSim and Sinergym demonstrate that ADAPT reduces HVAC energy consumption by 7.3\% and occupant discomfort by 30.2\% compared with state-of-the-art baselines under IID control. Under OOD control scenarios spanning unseen seasons and climate regions, ADAPT maintains robust performance with only marginal degradation relative to its IID performance, substantially outperforming existing methods in transfer robustness.
