Buildings consume energy for different purposes. One core function is to provide healthy
and comfortable living conditions for the humans that inhabit these buildings. The …

Building operations rely heavily on control systems and sensors. This paper provides a
sophisticated literature review on sensor systems in building/HVAC systems, particularly in …

Despite their vast potential for delivering rich and intuitive visualizations of live building
monitoring data, digital twins have been rarely studied in the context of thermal comfort. To …

Energy simulation results for buildings have significantly deviated from actual consumption
because of the uncertainty and randomness of occupant behavior. Such differences are …

The human dimension information is crucial for efficient building energy saving, health and
productivity, comfort conditions and security management. A great number of studies have …

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

Smart scheduling of domestic appliances based on user demand is an important aspect of
any home energy management system. Such a demand driven operation can be performed …

Occupancy schedules and density can have a substantial influence on building plug,
lighting, and air conditioning energy usage. In recent years, the study related to occupancy …

Abstract Nowadays, Multi Robotic System (MRS) consisting of different robot shapes, sizes
and capabilities has received significant attention from researchers and are being deployed …

One of the main required actions for moving forward in zero-carbon cities' mission is to
increase building energy efficiency. Building energy simulations are key tools for HVAC …
