In the last few years, the application of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for energy
management in buildings has received significant attention from the research community …

The appropriate application of advanced control strategies in Heating, Ventilation, and Air-
conditioning (HVAC) systems is key to improving the energy efficiency of buildings …

In the past, data in which science and engineering is based, was scarce and frequently
obtained by experiments proposed to verify a given hypothesis. Each experiment was able …

A comprehensive review of optimization research concerning the design and proportioning
of concrete mixtures is presented herein. Mixture design optimization is motivated by an ever …

Internet data centers (IDCs), which have the potential of spatial and temporal load
regulation, are excellent demand response (DR) resources. IDCs participating in DR has …

Occupant behavior in buildings might result into gap between predicted and actual energy
use and cause indoor thermal comfort fluctuations, due to its uncertainty and …

Energy storage system (ESS) plays a key role in peak load shaving to minimize power
consumption of buildings in peak hours. This paper proposes a novel energy management …

With the evolution of new energy and carbon trading systems, it is important to accurately
predict building energy consumption to help energy arrangements. Additionally, the …

This study proposes a decentralized hybrid energy system consisting of solar photovoltaics
(PV) and wind turbines (WT) connected with the local power grid for a small Najran, Saudi …

In this study, we propose a methodology to assign HVAC operation planning schemes for
connected buildings with the objective of energy saving and load leveling. The idea is to use …
