Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems control that takes occupant
information into account is called HVAC occupant-centric control (OCC), which strikes better …

Commercial and institutional buildings often operate at a fraction of their full occupancy, yet
ventilation is frequently provided assuming maximum occupancy during working hours …

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems play a crucial role in production
environments. Optimising the control strategy of an HVAC system is an effective approach to …

Occupant behaviour models play an important role in building energy demand modelling.
Useful simulation algorithms have been developed in previous studies; however, the pre …

Accurate occupancy prediction in smart buildings is crucial for optimizing energy
management, improving occupant comfort, and effectively controlling building systems …

Occupancy in the field of HVAC design is crudely estimated early in the design phase and
often does not reflect the actual building. This results in chronic overventilation, which …

This study aims at constructing short-term forecast models by analyzing the patterns of the
heating degree day (HDD). In this context, two different time series analyses, namely the …

In this paper, the data set of the number of tourists in Shandong Province from 1990 to 2019
is obtained through the China Statistical Yearbook, and the number of tourists in Shandong …

Occupant behavior (OB) models, that simulate the daily activity of residents, have been
developed to be integrated into building simulation tools to estimate residential building …

Data has the potential to transform our environments for the better if utilized to its full
potential. A highly interesting use case of data is in relation to Smart Buildings, where IoT …
