Applied Energy has published our work Using machine learning techniques for occupancy-prediction-based cooling control in office buildings. We propose a demand-driven control strategy that automatically responds to occupants’ energy-related behavior for reducing energy consumption and maintains room temperature for occupants with similar performances as a static cooling. This learning-based approach reduces the… read more
