Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems control that takes occupant
information into account is called HVAC occupant-centric control (OCC), which strikes better …

Building occupancy is of great importance for energy efficient control of buildings. A large
number of works have been developed for the estimation and detection of building …

Precise occupancy information is extremely valuable for energy savings and optimization in
the built environment. Building management systems (BMSs) can automatically turn off the …

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

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 …

Adapting building systems' operation to occupancy variations can provide significant energy
savings, but this is typically constrained by the unavailability of occupancy information …

To automatize HVAC energy savings in buildings, it is useful to forecast the occupants'
behaviour. This article deals with such a forecasting problem by exploiting the daily …

Real-time nonintrusive occupancy estimation can maximize the use of existing sensors to
infer occupant information in buildings with the advantages of fewer privacy concerns and …

Due to emerging environmental problems from fossil fuel usage and increasing renewable
energy resources in microgrids, the need of demand response (DR) is intensified to stabilize …

Occupancy detection and estimation in buildings paves the way to improve the utilization of
lighting and HVAC systems, induce energy savings and enhance the well-being of the …
