In residential buildings, occupant behavior and occupancy status have a significant impact on energy consumption variation. Although the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating …
Forecasting and modeling building energy profiles require tools able to discover patterns within large amounts of collected information. Clustering is the main technique used to …
Abstract Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is a major energy consumer in buildings. The predictive control has demonstrated a potential to reduce HVAC energy use …
This paper provides a comparative study of state-of-the-art means of predicting occupancy for smart heating control applications. We focus on approaches that predict the occupancy …
The energy performance of a residential building is highly dependent on occupant's presence or non-presence in a building and their interactions with energy-consuming …
Building occupancy is the basis for building energy simulations, operations, and management. With the increasing need for energy conservation and the occupant-centric …
