Implementing an efficient control strategy for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems can lead to improvements in both energy efficiency and thermal …

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 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 …

The processes of digital transformation have involved a variety of socio-technical activities,
with the objective of increasing productivity, safety and quality of execution, sustainable …

Detailed occupancy information in buildings is useful to improve the performance of energy
management systems in order to enable energy consumption savings and maintain …

Energy simulation results for buildings have significantly deviated from actual consumption
because of the uncertainty and randomness of occupant behavior. Such differences are …

Occupancy behaviour plays an important role in energy consumption in buildings. Currently,
the shallow understanding of occupancy has led to a considerable performance gap …

A review of the literature pertaining to building occupancy detection, counting, and tracking–
three areas under the umbrella of building occupancy estimation–is presented with a focus …

A general approach is proposed to determine the common sensors that shall be used to
estimate and classify the approximate number of people (within a range) in a room. The …

Buildings use approximately 40% of global energy and are responsible for almost a third of
the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. They also utilise about 60% of the world's …
