Abstract
An algorithm for a low cost Building Heating System {BHS} was proposed and implemented earlier. This research compares the performance of this algorithm using three different FPGA platforms, namely, SPARTAN 3, Virtex 4, and Artix-7. Components of the BHS were implemented in VHDL, synthesized, simulated and tested using the Xilinx IDE. Important results have been reported and discussed. Suggestions for future work are also given as part of this paper.
