This paper introduces a database of 34 field-measured building occupant behavior datasets
collected from 15 countries and 39 institutions across 10 climatic zones covering various …

In educational buildings, the HVAC system is a major contributor to the total energy use. It is
well-known that energy reductions could be achieved by more advanced control strategies …

The prediction of the occupancy in buildings is essential to design efficient energy control
strategies that optimize consumption and reduce losses while guaranteeing the comfort of …

Occupant behavior plays a crucial role in enhancing indoor thermal comfort and achieving
energy efficiency by influencing the operational modes of Heating, Ventilation, and Air …

Abstract ASHRAE RP-1747 is a CO 2-based demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) approach
which uses trim and respond logic to dynamically adjust variable air volume (VAV) terminal …

Energy management in commercial buildings requires accurate measurement of end-uses,
which is crucial for sustainability and cost reduction. However, a common challenge is the …

Initial and maintenance costs often prevent dense submeter installations that enable room-
level thermal energy monitoring. Previous studies suggested that building automation …

Abstract Occupant-centric control (OCC), which adapts building systems based on
occupants' presence or preferences, represents a promising alternative to the way buildings …

Abstract In the United States (US), the buildings sector consumes about 76% of electricity
use and 40% of all primary energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions …

Mixed-mode buildings combine natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation, which can
enhance occupant comfort and reduce their energy consumption. While mixed-mode …
