Simulation of occupancy in buildings

Occupancy Estimation in Smart Buildings using Audio-Processing Techniques

In the past few years, several case studies have illustrated that the use of occupancy information in buildings leads to energy-efficient and low-cost HVAC operation. The widely presented techniques for occupancy estimation include temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, image camera, motion sensor and passive infrared (PIR) sensor. So far little studies have been reported in literature to ut...

Inductive decision based Real Time Occupancy detector in University Buildings

The ability to estimate College Campus Occupancy for Classrooms and Labs in real time has become one of the major concerns for various Academicians, authorities and administrators ,where still a manual attendance marking system is being followed. Using a low budget multiple sensor setup installed in a college auditorium, the goal is to build a real-time occupancy detector. This paper presents a...

Fusing Sensors for Occupancy Sensing in Smart Buildings

Occupancy Estimation in Smart Buildings Using IOT-Based Techniques

Nowadays, the research and innovation of smart buildings has been gaining increasingly attentions in building construction and management society. Among a variety of emerging technologies, demand driven HVAC (i.e., heating, ventilation and air conditioning) operation is promising to significantly reduce the building operation cost, and ultimately to achieve sustainable smart buildings. The “Int...

Occupancy Counting with Burst and Intermittent Signals in Smart Buildings

Zone-level occupancy counting is a critical technology for smart buildings and can be used for several applications such as building energy management, surveillance, and public safety. Existing occupancy counting techniques typically require installation of large number of occupancy monitoring sensors inside a building as well as an established network. In this study, in order to achieve occupa...
