Energy management of residential buildings plays an important role in a smart grid. Region specific fuzzy logic strategies are proposed recently. However, no such approach exists that covers all regions of the world. A fuzzy logic-based strategy for the construction of fuzzy controller covering the entire globe would be cost effective due to the increasing power of micro-controllers. Results show that our proposed approach achieves a minimum energy savings of 6.5%, irrespective of where it is used around the world. This research will provide a model for extending the region specific solutions for a worldwide adaption.
