HVAC energy savings, thermal comfort and air quality for occupant-centric control through a side-by-side experimental study

Meng Kong et al.

Summary: Sensing technologies in buildings have advanced rapidly in the past two decades, with occupancy sensing systems being developed to track occupant behavior. Occupancy-based building system control can improve energy efficiency and occupant comfort, with studies showing potential energy savings and comfort maintenance. A study integrating three state-of-the-art occupancy sensing technologies into HVAC system control found that occupancy-based control can maintain good thermal comfort and indoor air quality satisfaction, with weekly energy savings averaging between 17% and 24%.
