Model predictive control strategies for buildings with mixed-mode cooling
Jianjun Hu,Panagiota Karava +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present model predictive control (MPC) strategies for buildings with mixed-mode cooling (window opening position, fan assist, and night cooling schedule) and demonstrate their potential performance bounds in terms of energy savings within thermal comfort constraints, in comparison with standard heuristic rules used in current practice.

Twentieth century standards for thermal comfort: Promoting high energy buildings
TL;DR: The urgent need to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a bid to meet increasingly stringent GHG targets has focused the attention of scientists on the built environment as discussed by the authors.

Influence of green spaces on environmental satisfaction and physiological status of urban residents
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluated the influence of urban green spaces on human with subjective questionnaires as well as physiological measurements and found that color is one of the most important factors which affect the overall satisfaction of people with their vegetation environment.

Indoor air quality in rooms with cooled ceilings.: Mixing ventilation or rather displacement ventilation?
TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of tracer gas in a test chamber which is equipped with a radiant cooled ceiling is investigated, and the results show the interaction of the portion of the cooling load being removed by the supply air, the air quality in the occupied zone and the vertical air temperature rise.

Experimental study of occupancy-based control of HVAC zones ✩
TL;DR: In this paper, two occupancy-based control strategies for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) systems in commercial buildings were proposed in their earlier simulation work, and the experimental evaluation provides further confidence that high degree of energy savings is possible with simple control algorithms that use real-time occupancy measurements.
