Abstract:The goal of this research is to produce a realistic occupancy forecast as well as an ideal occupancy-based controller for increasing the performance of Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning [HVAC] systems. Reliable occupancy prediction is a critical enabler for demand-based HVAC control since it ensures that the HVAC system is not running unnecessarily while a room or zone is empty. We present simple yet successful occupancy prediction methods, as well as an approach for automatically setting temperature se… Show more
