Modeling buildings and smart energy systems requires coupling a wide range of
components into one unified simulation process, which can be difficult given the complexity …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art smart building research by a bibliometric analysis, a
content analysis, and a qualitative review. The bibliometric analysis of 364 academic papers …

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to adapt the control of building
HVAC systems to limit disease transmission in indoor environments. However, such …

Prediction of indoor airborne pollutant concentrations can enable a smart indoor air quality
control strategy that potentially reduces building energy use and improves occupant comfort …

Understanding the demand flexibility of city-scale buildings under different demand
response (DR) strategies is crucial to balance the power supply and demand in the grid …

Previous studies have mainly focused on solar chimneys in single-chamber/zone or single-
story buildings. Its theoretical development in multi-chamber or multi-story buildings is …

In recent years, a large number of building energy consumption prediction models, with
various intended uses, have been proposed. The majority of these models have either taken …

This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of the performance and energy
consumption of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems as standalone …

Recently, many researchers have become interested in occupant information and occupant-
centric control (OCC) strategies, aiming for efficient building operation. Combining a camera …

This paper aims to review the engineering controls for indoor air quality (IAQ) from a systems
design perspective. As a result of the review, we classify the literature content into three …
