Improving energy flexibility and PV self-consumption for a tropical net zero energy office building

Building energy flexibility is crucial for improving the local consumption of renewable energy and enhancing building self-sufficiency. The abundant solar energy resource in the tropics presents a great opportunity to reduce carbon emission and …

Impact of occupant related data on identification and model predictive control for buildings

Model predictive control (MPC) has shown potential in improving building performance but is bottlenecked by the difficulty in constructing control-oriented models. The challenge lies in evaluating the sufficiency of the model and the data usage …

Data requirements and performance evaluation of model predictive control in buildings: A modeling perspective

Model predictive control (MPC) has shown great potential in improving building performance and saving energy. However, after over 20 years of research, it is yet to be adopted by the industry. The difficulty of obtaining a sufficient control-oriented …
