Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has unprecedentedly entangled the physical world with
cyber technologies and its integration with building infrastructure (BI) is no different …

This work presents a literature review of control methods, with an emphasis on the theory
and applications of model predictive control (MPC) for heating, ventilation, and air …

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) are extremely energy consuming,
accounting for 40% of total building energy consumption. It is crucial to design some energy …

Buildings all around the world consume a significant amount of energy, which is more or
less one-third of the total primary energy resources. This has raised concerns over energy …

Hundreds of studies have investigated Model Predictive Control (MPC) for the optimal
operation of building energy systems in the past two decades. However, MPC field tests are …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of all significant research applying
computational optimisation to sustainable building design problems. A summary of common …

This paper summarizes a study undertaken to reveal potential challenges and opportunities
for integrating optimization tools in net zero energy buildings (NZEB) design. The paper …

The increasing global importance of climate change has been clearly recognised in the last
few years. The building industry contributed to a large proportion of the global energy use …

Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are the major energy-consuming
devices in buildings. Nowadays, due to the high demand for HVAC system installation in …

Given restrictions that comfort conditions in the interior of a building are satisfied, it becomes
obvious that the problem of energy conservation is a multidimensional one. Scientists from a …
