Modern cyber physical systems (CPSs) has widely being used in our daily lives because of
development of information and communication technologies (ICT). With the provision of …

Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems account for almost half of the
energy consumption in buildings. By benefiting from advancements in information and …

Building occupancy is of great importance for energy efficient control of buildings. A large
number of works have been developed for the estimation and detection of building …

Abstract Modern Building Automation Systems (BASs), as the brain that enable the
smartness of a smart building, often require increased connectivity both among system …

In the face of unprecedented challenges in environmental sustainability and grid resilience,
there is an increasingly held consensus regarding the adoption of distributed and renewable …

In this paper, we propose a gamification approach as a novel framework for smart building
infrastructure with the goal of motivating human occupants to consider personal energy …

In the last few years, the collecting and processing of occupancy data have become
emerging issues since they can affect, either directly or indirectly, several energy operations …

Sensing by proxy (SbP) is proposed in this paper as a sensing paradigm for occupancy
detection, where the inference is based on “proxy” measurements such as temperature and …

Since people spend most of their time indoors, it is important to create comfortable indoor
environments for building occupants. However, unsuitable thermostat settings lead to …

This article studies a scalable control method for multizone heating, ventilation, and air-
conditioning (HVAC) systems to optimize the energy cost for maintaining thermal comfort …
