Occupant Behavior (OB) is one of the major drivers of building energy consumption.
However, OB is usually oversimplified in Building Performance Simulation (BPS), resulting …

The building information and operational data generated during the building life cycle are
essential for realizing energy-efficient operation, indoor environmental quality, and …

As buildings account for approximately 40% of global energy consumption and associated
greenhouse gas emissions, their role in decarbonizing the power grid is crucial. The …

Electrification and distributed energy resources (DERs) are vital for reducing the building
sector's carbon footprint. However, conventional reactive control is insufficient in addressing …

Abstract During the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, governments around the world
have formulated policies requiring ventilation systems to operate at a higher outdoor fresh …

Occupant behavior in buildings might result into gap between predicted and actual energy
use and cause indoor thermal comfort fluctuations, due to its uncertainty and …

This study explores the applicability of data augmentation techniques for reconstructing
missing energy time-series in limited data regimes. In particular, multiple synthetic copies of …
