The heating system is widely used because it can sustain wide range of temperature. So temperature control is of prime importance. The heating systems are used for controlled maintenance of indoor ambient characteristics in optimal manner. The objective of these systems is to achieve comfortable and pleasant sensation of people staying in the warm area. The heating control problem is tackled by a fuzzy control scheme. Fuzzy logic systems are employed to maintain the room temperature in required range by determines the maximum and minimum for temperature. One important Artificial Intelligence tool for automatic control is the use of fuzzy logic controllers, which are fuzzy rule-based systems comprising expert knowledge in form of linguistic rules. These rules are usually constructed by an expert in the field of interest who can link the facts with the conclusions. Fuzzy Logic is a paradigm for an alternative design methodology, which can be applied in developing both linear and non-linear systems for embedded control. By using fuzzy logic, designers can realize lower development costs, superior features and better end product performance. In control systems there are a number of generic systems and methods which are encountered in all areas of industry and technology. From the dozens of ways to control any system, it turns out that fuzzy is often the very best way. The only reasons are faster and cheaper. One of successful application that used fuzzy control is heating control system. This paper describes the concept of using simulation as a tool for performance validation and energy analysis of heating systems.
