Abstract
Limited foreign exchange makes the local optimisation of reinforced concrete slabs particularly attractive for solar energy systems. A predictive model based on microprocessor-based control is formulated and calibrated using laboratory data. Costs are reduced by approximately 36% when the recommended procedure is adopted. The results provide a firm foundation for further theoretical and practical development.
