Using personal environmental comfort systems to mitigate the impact of occupancy prediction errors on HVAC performance

Abstract Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) consumes a significant fraction of energy in commercial buildings. Hence, the use of optimization techniques to reduce HVAC energy consumption has been widely studied. Model predictive control (MPC) is one state of the art optimization techni...
