The present paper develops an Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) framework to
provide Demand-Response (DR) for supporting the power grid stability while also …

For decades, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have transformed the design and management
of infrastructure systems, improving their performance through the combination of sensing …

The concept of cyber-physical-social infrastructure systems (CPSISs) has been introduced to
offer a paradigm shift necessary for including human-centered, or “social,” objectives in …

We contribute by systematically analysing the performance trade-offs, costs (privacy loss
and deployment cost) and limits of low-resolution thermal array sensors for occupancy …

Existing literature postulates thermal behaviors primarily to be a consequence of thermal
discomfort. However, some thermal behaviors, such as changing the thermostat settings in …

Mobility data captures the locations of moving objects such as humans, animals, and cars.
With the availability of GPS-equipped mobile devices and other inexpensive location …

Buildings play a pivotal role in the ongoing worldwide energy transition, accounting for 30%
of the global energy consumption. With traditional engineering solutions reaching their limits …

The smart home era is inevitably arising towards our everyday life. However, the scarcity of
publicly available data remains a major hurdle in the domain, limiting people's capability of …

The current state of energy generation and consumption in the world, where many countries
rely on fossil fuels to meet their energy demands, poses significant challenges in terms of …

The window opening behavior of various building types has been investigated. As a hospital
with stricter environmental criteria, however, the research is still insufficient. Therefore, this …
