The control techniques in buildings contribute significantly to thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ). However, the gaps are existing for multitarget controls considering both thermal comfort and IAQ. They are: (1) both experimental and modeling control studies were conducted for thermal comfort, focusing on temperature and humidity. (2) All three (physical, grey-box, black-box) modeling approaches were investigated for temperature control. (3) Physical and grey-box modeling approach were adopted for humidity control. (4) physical models were developed for VOCs and CO2 control. (5) grey-box and black-box models were lacking for VOCs and CO2. (6) Multi-target controls were lacking for temperature, humidity and CO2s. (7) Limited studies are available for multi-target controls for temperature, humidity, and VOCs. (8) Multi-target controls are not available yet for temperature, humidity, VOCs, and CO2.
