Abstract
Growing needs of humanity have forced him to use modern technology in all aspects of his life. Intelligent buildings are one of these modern technologies that have great advantages for people. These buildings include a set of integrated and dynamic systems to manage the allocation of resources and facilitate the residents’ lives. In this context and due to high speed, reliability and better respond to environmental changes, we simulate such environment using hardware multi agents with fuzzy approach. To do this, we use Matlab and its fuzzy toolbox. The results shows that parallel processing nature in this kind of multi agents improve the speedup of the system.
