The effect of spatial variations in mean radiant temperature and occupancy on HVAC energy and occupant thermal comfort is studied in an open-plan office space with multiple AHUs. A predictive control method is proposed that arrives at optimum temperature set-point vector by solving an optimization problem, which minimizes HVAC energy consumption subject to acceptable thermal comfort and adequate outside...
Utility of deploying environment/occupancy sensors in buildings is well studied. However, the settings in the existing works are limited in scope and hence the observations may not be generalizable. This paper proposes an approach to quantify the utility of sensing in generic zone setups. The usefulness of sensing temperature and occupancy is quantified in terms of ‘information-utility’ and ‘actuation-utility’...
