Past research has shown that occupancy information can be used to reduce building energy
consumption through occupant-based controls and by mitigating wasteful occupant …

With cities accounting for approximately two thirds of the global demand for energy, there is
significant scope to optimize energy usage of cities, in particular by improving the use of the …

Adapting building systems' operation to occupancy variations can provide significant energy
savings, but this is typically constrained by the unavailability of occupancy information …

Accurate occupancy information can help in optimizing the operation of building systems. To
obtain this information, previous studies suggested using WiFi connection counts due to …

Occupants' energy-consuming behaviors have a significant influence on overall energy
consumption in commercial buildings. Accordingly, understanding and intervening in these …

Wi-Fi networks are currently considered as an efficient and economical tool for occupancy
sensing in office buildings. Studies particularly indicated that these networks could be …

Studies indicate that occupancy-related energy-use behaviors have a significant influence
on overall energy consumption in commercial buildings. In this context, understanding and …

Providing energy-consumption feedback has proven to be an effective approach for
changing people's behavior and has led to significant energy-consumption reductions in …

This paper presents findings of a case-study demonstrating the effectiveness of using WiFi
networks to detect occupancy as opposed to CO2 sensors, commonly used for demand …

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 …
