The aim of a modern Building Automation System (BAS) is to enhance interactive control strategies for energy efficiency and user comfort. In this context, we develop novel algorithm that uses stochastic building occupancy model improve mean while minimizing expected discomfort. We compare by simulation our Stochastic Model Predictive Control (SMPC) strategy the standard heating method empirically demonstrate 4.3% reduction in use 38.3%
