Knowing the occupancy information in each room can create energy saving through
intelligent control of HVAC systems. In this paper, a classification-based occupant counting …

Knowing the number of occupants and where they are located proves crucial in many smart
home applications such as automated home control, anomaly detection and activity …

Considering that existing device-based occupant detection methods cannot count those who
do not carry a device, in this paper, for buildings where the behaviour of the occupants tends …

An important approach to curtail building energy consumption is to optimize building control
based on occupancy information. Various studies proposed to estimate occupant counts …

Precise occupancy information is extremely valuable for energy savings and optimization in
the built environment. Building management systems (BMSs) can automatically turn off the …

Occupancy estimation can play an important role in reducing energy consumption for both
HVAC and lighting systems in buildings. Furthermore, the information is also important for …

Buildings accounted for half of global electricity consumption in recent years. Accurate
occupancy information could improve the energy efficiency and reduce the energy …

Detecting the presence of persons and estimating their quantity in an indoor environment
has grown in importance recently. For example, the information if a room is unoccupied can …

We presented an approach to detect and count occupants using a fusion of environmental
sensors from an indoor air quality measurement system. Environmental sensors, as …

Commercial and residential buildings consume about 27% of total energy used in the US,
out of which nearly half is consumed by commercial building sector and it expected to grow …
