Occupant behavior is one of the major factors influencing building energy consumption and contributing to uncertainty in use prediction simulation. Currently understanding occupant insufficient both design, operation retrofit, leading incorrect simplifications modeling analysis. This paper introduced most recent advances current obstacles quantifying its impact on use. The themes include advancements data collection techniques, analytical methods, simulation applications which provide...
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a promising technique to address growing needs for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems operate more efficiently with greater flexibility. However, due number of factors, including the required implementation expertise, lack high quality data, risk-adverse industry, MPC has yet gain widespread adoption. While many previous studies have shown advantages MPC, few analyzed effort associated practical challenges. In addition, work developed...
With climate change leading to more frequent, intense, and longer durations of extreme weather events such as heat waves cold snaps, it is essential maintain safe indoor environmental conditions for occupants during events, which may coincide with, or even cause, power outages that expose residents health risks. Analyzing the impacts on thermal resilience buildings can help stakeholders (including occupants) understand risk inform them about mitigation adaptation actions. Moreover, analyzing...
