A state-space modeling approach and multi-level optimization algorithm for predictive control of multi-zone buildings with mixed-mode cooling
Jianjun Hu,Panagiota Karava +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a control-oriented modeling approach for multi-zone buildings with mixed-mode cooling, based on the linear state-space representation with varying coefficient matrices, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal comfort modeling when personalized comfort systems are in use: Comparison of sensing and learning methods
TL;DR: The results indicate that the data from environmental sensors results in 2%–5% higher prediction accuracy compared to using a wearable device to monitor wrist skin temperature or thermal imaging to monitor skin temperature from different regions of the face, and environmental sensors are more affordable and have relatively fewer privacy concerns compared to the physiological sensors.

Clarifying thermal comfort of healthcare occupants in tropical region: A case of indoor environment in Thai hospitals
TL;DR: The results showed that the PMV model mismatched thermal comfort for healthcare occupants in the tropics, particularly for medical staff, and the comfort criteria of current hospital standards are suitable for a tropical region.

Zone-level control algorithms based on occupancy information for energy efficient buildings
TL;DR: This work proposes three control algorithms with varying information requirements, one of which requires long-horizon accurate prediction of occupancy and a model of the hygrothermal dynamics of the zone, and one that requires only occupancy measurement and a dynamic model.

Effects of heated seat and foot heater on thermal comfort and heater energy consumption in vehicle
TL;DR: It was revealed that heated seats and foot heaters can reduce the total heater energy consumption of vehicles and improve the occupant's thermal sensation and comfort in cool environments.
