Indoor environment construction for occupants has high energy consumption; as such, occupancy plays a noteworthy role in the complete life cycle phase of buildings, including design, operation, and retrofitting. In the past few years, building …
Building occupancy is the basis for building energy simulations, operations, and management. With the increasing need for energy conservation and the occupant-centric service of building energy systems, occupancy forecasting has become an essential …
Current building energy benchmarking systems categorize buildings into peer groups by static characteristics such as climate zones and building types, which cannot account for the huge variation in building operations. Grouping buildings with diverse …
