Reduced energy consumption is essential for a rapid transition to net zero carbon emissions. Residential energy may constitute 27% of primary energy consumption, and 20 …
Occupants' behavior is a major source of uncertainty for the optimal operation of building energy systems. The highly stochastic hot water use behavior of occupants has led to …
Water heating contributes up to 40% of a household's total electricity usage and places a substantial burden on the electricity grid due to high power ratings and users' largely …
