Our paper entitled Occupancy learning-based demand-driven cooling control for office spaces led by colleagues at ETH Zurich, has been published in Building and Environment. Abstract Occupancy in buildings is one of the key factors influencing air-conditioning energy use. Occupant presence and absence are stochastic. However, static operation schedules are widely used by… read more
