Abstract Building Energy Management is identified as a key part of the move towards
localised energy generation and control. The significant discrepancy between building …

The current methods of building energy simulation that designers and engineers (D&E) use
in order to find the energy performance of a building do not take into account the real …

The accuracy of the prediction of occupancy in an office room using data from light,
temperature, humidity and CO 2 sensors has been evaluated with different statistical …

Building energy management and the necessity to reduce overall energy consumption is
becoming an increasingly important topic. Especially in dynamic environments, where the …

This paper describes a large-scale wireless and wired environmental sensor network test-
bed and its application to occupancy detection in an open-plan office building. Detection of …

Significant energy savings can be achieved by operating heating, ventilation and air
conditioning controllers using a feedback from sensor-based occupancy detection methods …

The ability to accurately determine localized building occupancy in real time enables several
compelling applications, including intelligent control of building systems to minimize energy …

This paper presents and evaluates a simple methodology based on Hidden Markov models
for the problem of unsupervised occupancy detection using the open source program R. The …

Detection of occupant presence has been used extensively in built environments for
applications such as demand-controlled ventilation and security. However, the ability to …
