Hydronic radiant heating and cooling systems are considered as an energy efficient
technology to condition buildings. We performed a literature review to assess if radiant …

In buildings, HVAC systems consume a high amount of energy to provide thermal comfort for
occupants. A methodology is presented in this paper to control thermostat operation of the …

In California, the majority of office and other nondomestic buildings use mechanical cooling
and ventilation even when an optimized natural ventilation (NV) system could meet cooling …

Abstract Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are responsible for more
