TL;DR: The outcome of this review shows that data-driven based approaches are more promising for the FDD process of large-scale HVAC systems than model-based and knowledge-based ones.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a smart low-cost ventilation control strategy based on occupant density-detection algorithm with consideration of both infection prevention and energy efficiency, which can automatically adjust between the demand-controlled mode and anti-infection mode with a self-developed low cost hardware prototype.

TL;DR: The present article aims to review the research works concerning occupancy-based control systems, classify them based on the integration of occupancy information with control systems and identify their strengths and limitations.

TL;DR: This study provides a theoretical analysis for implementing physical barriers, as a low-cost mitigation strategy, subject to various height scenarios and investigation of their effectiveness in reducing the infection transmission probability.

TL;DR: The development of a systematic procedure to provide building occupants with direct feedback and recommendations to help them take appropriate action to reduce building energy consumption is described.
