Abstract: Hourly energy use in commercial buildings shows periodic variation in daily and annual cycles. Moreover, the pattern of variation is such that Fourier series functional forms provide one of the ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of hourly heating and cooling energy use in commercial buildings can be achieved by a Generalized Fourier Series (GFS) approach involving weather variables such as dry-bulb ...

Abstract: Development of the accurate models for hourly energy use in commercial buildings has important ramifications for (I) retrofit savings analysis, (ii) diagnostics, (iii) on-line control and (iv) ...
