A detailed view of the Adaptive-Comfort-Control-Implementation Script (ACCIS): The capabilities of the automation system for adaptive setpoint temperatures in building energy models

Recent research has looked into the potential for energy savings from adopting setpoint temperatures based on adaptive comfort. The recently suggested Adaptive-Comfort-Control-Implementation Script (ACCIS), a computational method that expands use of air conditioning to comfort, can be used accomplish this. user's setup and an Input Data File (IDF) are by ACCIS convert PMV-based EnergyPlus models models. Adaptive Comfort Control Implemented Model (“accim”) Python module been nest ACCIS, which was originally Energy Management System (EMS) script. This focuses creation offers more in-depth understanding how functions connections between objects compose it. Since all weather file quantity constraints have overcome studies now generated millions simulations, opens up new opportunities performing simulations worldwide scale rather than only national or continental level. is increased considering that, until international ASHRAE Standard 55 European standard EN16798-1 were considered in but recent update allows select local comfort developed specific areas. As result, this firstly demonstrated means study 3 arguments most important impact temperatures: thermal model, acceptability levels behaviour when not applicable; secondly actual example accim.
