Abstract
In this chapter, the graph theory is employed for modeling the HVAC components and system. By using the graph-theory models, the direct or indirect relationships among model’s input and output variables are clearly described. Meanwhile, the structure-matrix method is used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of various parts in the HVAC system, including reachability, controllability, and observability.
