It has been proven that advanced building control, like model predictive control (MPC), can
notably reduce the energy use and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, despite …

Building systems are subject of dynamic system that have a general feature of non-linearity
and in turn, present us with different challenges for its optimized control of energy-saving …

Buildings account for about 40% of the global energy consumption and contribute over 30%
of the CO 2 emissions. A large proportion of this energy is used for thermal comfort in …

Occupant behavior is one of the major factors influencing building energy consumption and
contributing to uncertainty in building energy use prediction and simulation. Currently the …

Intelligent buildings have drawn considerable attention due to rapid progress in
communication and information technologies. These buildings can utilize current and …

The “human dimensions” of energy use in buildings refer to the energy-related behaviors of
key stakeholders that affect energy use over the building life cycle. Stakeholders include …

This paper aims to provide a systemic review of how indoor sensors influence in managing
optimal energy saving, thermal comfort, visual comfort, and indoor air quality in the built …

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

Among the sufficiency, efficiency, and renewable frameworks for reducing energy use and
