Towards Optimization of Building Energy and Occupant Comfort Using Multi-agent Simulation
The primary consumers of building energy are heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting systems, which maintain occupant comfort, and electronics and appliances that enable occupant functionality. The optimization of building energy is therefore a complex problem highly dependent on unique building and environmental conditions as well as on time dependent operational factors. To provide comput...
متن کاملIncentive Mechanism for Truthful Occupant Comfort Feedback in Human-in-the-loop Building Thermal Management
Energy inefficiency and underlying occupant discomfort associated with building thermal management systems have led to development of human-in-the-loop control system. Minimizing total energy consumption and maximizing comfort of all the occupants present is the major objective of such system based on human comfort feedback. However, the approaches proposed so far lack a built-in mechanism to e...
متن کاملInvestigation of Using Fuzzy Logic to Model Occupant Satisfaction and Behavior in a Building
Occupant satisfaction with indoor environmental conditions are in close relation to energy consumption in buildings. Despite the increasing efforts to maintain thermal comfort conditions in buildings with control strategies, occupants are not usually satisfied, and, thus, change their behavior which generally interfere with building operation systems. Therefore, modeling and characterizing occu...
متن کاملSupervisory Control for Energy Savings and Thermal Comfort in Commercial Building HVAC Systems
The operation and maintenance of commercial building HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems is illustrative of an industry that can benefit from the insightful use of all available information sources. Modern HVAC systems using direct digital control can potentially provide useful performance data. Occupant feedback complaint data and HVAC system trend data are stored within ...
متن کاملAdvanced control systems engineering for energy and comfort management in a building environment—A review
Given restrictions that comfort conditions in the interior of a building are satisfied, it becomes obvious that the problem of energy conservation is amultidimensional one. Scientists from a variety of fields have been working on this problem for a few decades now; however, essentially it remains an open issue. In the beginning of this article, we define the whole problem in which the topics ar...
