Experimental study on a radiant leg warmer to improve thermal comfort of office workers in winter

Haiying Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of radiant leg warmers effectively improved the skin temperature and local skin temperature of office workers, enhancing thermal sensation and thermal comfort. In cognitive ability tests, using the leg warmer did not significantly impact task completion time but did decrease the error rate.

BEEM: Data-driven building energy benchmarking for Singapore

Pandarasamy Arjunan et al.

Summary: This paper presents the design and implementation of BEEM, a data-driven energy use benchmarking system for buildings in Singapore. The system establishes peer groups for comparison using a public energy disclosure data set and utilizes an ensemble tree algorithm to accurately model building energy use and identify influential factors. Compared to baseline linear regression models used in the previous energy efficiency labeling program in Singapore and other recent models, our models significantly reduce prediction error. Using the prototype implementation of BEEM, we benchmarked and compared the energy performance of office, hotel, and retail buildings.

Investigation on pre-cooling potential of UFAD via model-based predictive control

Jaewan Joe

Summary: This study explores the potential for cost-saving in operating an underfloor air distribution (UFAD) system using model-based predictive control (MPC). By constructing a grey-box building model based on real building measurements, the study quantifies the energy-saving potential of MPC compared to feedback control through simulation. The results show that MPC can achieve energy savings of over 30% in the cooling season and around 20% in the intermediate season. Higher savings are observed when the outdoor air temperature and solar radiation are high. The size of the plenum does not significantly affect the energy savings, as the major savings are achieved through precooling using off-peak electricity and more efficient HVAC equipment.

Predictive control of multi-zone variable air volume air-conditioning system based on radial basis function neural network

Lei Lei et al.

Summary: This study investigates the difficulties in room temperature control in a multi-zone variable air volume (VAV) air-conditioning system and proposes a predictive control model based on radial basis function (RBF) neural network. Experimental results show that the proposed model can meet room temperature requirements and ensure stable static pressure of the main air supply duct.

Energy-efficient personalized thermal comfort control in office buildings based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning

Liang Yu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the coordination control problem of personal comfort systems (PCSs) and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in a shared office space. The goal is to minimize energy consumption while maintaining comfortable individual thermal environment for each occupant. A real-time control algorithm based on attention-based multi-agent deep reinforcement learning is proposed. Simulation results show significant reductions in energy consumption and improvements in thermal comfort deviation.

Meeting thermal needs of occupants in shared space with an adjustable thermostat and local heating in winter: An experimental study

Yingdong He et al.

Summary: This study explores thermostat-use behaviors of occupants in shared space during winter, with the finding that thermal need serves as the reference for optimizing indoor set-points. The study also reveals that meeting thermal needs is more closely related to reducing cool sensation than changing set-points.

Grey-box modeling and application for building energy simulations-A critical review

Yanfei Li et al.

Summary: Grey-box modeling, as a fundamental modeling technique for building energy models, has advantages over black-box and white-box modeling, but faces challenges such as unclear theoretical limitations and assumptions, confusing naming conventions and structures, and lack of unified software solutions. Thorough evaluation of grey-box modeling is lacking, and there are difficulties in the modeling process with various theoretical and practical challenges.

A Review of Deep Reinforcement Learning for Smart Building Energy Management

Liang Yu et al.

Summary: Global buildings contribute to a significant portion of energy consumption and carbon emission, calling for the development of smart building energy management technologies. However, challenges such as accurate thermal dynamics models, uncertain system parameters, and spatial-temporal operational constraints must be addressed. Deep reinforcement learning shows promise in overcoming these challenges, but a systematic overview of its application in SBEM is currently lacking.
