Indoor environment construction for occupants has high energy consumption; as such,
occupancy plays a noteworthy role in the complete life cycle phase of buildings, including …

In recent years, reduction of energy consumption in buildings has increasingly gained
interest among researchers mainly due to practical reasons, such as economic advantages …

In residential buildings, occupant behavior and occupancy status have a significant impact
on energy consumption variation. Although the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating …

Forecasting and modeling building energy profiles require tools able to discover patterns
within large amounts of collected information. Clustering is the main technique used to …

Abstract Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) is a major energy consumer in
buildings. The predictive control has demonstrated a potential to reduce HVAC energy use …

This paper provides a comparative study of state-of-the-art means of predicting occupancy
for smart heating control applications. We focus on approaches that predict the occupancy …

The energy performance of a residential building is highly dependent on occupant's
presence or non-presence in a building and their interactions with energy-consuming …

Building occupancy is the basis for building energy simulations, operations, and
management. With the increasing need for energy conservation and the occupant-centric …

Occupancy data is a critical input parameter for building energy simulation since it has a big
impact on the precision and accuracy of building energy model performance. However …

Much work on sustainable design has focused on product manufacture/assembly and end of
life. Gains in products' technical efficiency address the use phase, but how these products …
