RISOptimizing the Performance of Energy-Intensive Commercial Buildings: Occupancy-Focused Data Collection and Analysis Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In commercial buildings, energy consumed during operation oftentimes differs from that predicted during design. The discrepancy is specifically large in energy-intensive buildings (e.g., laboratory facilities), which ...
Multilayer Agent-Based Modeling and Social Network Framework to Evaluate Energy Feedback Methods for Groups of Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Important energy reductions can be achieved in the building sector by providing occupants with feedback about their energy-consumption levels. Recent studies link the success of energy-feedback methods to the level of ...
Agent-Based Modeling of Occupants and Their Impact on Energy Use in Commercial Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Energy modeling is globally used during the design phase to estimate future building energy performance. Predictions obtained from common energy estimation software typically deviate from actual energy consumption levels. ...

Abstract: In commercial buildings, energy consumed during operation oftentimes differs from that predicted during design. The discrepancy is specifically large in energy-intensive buildings (e.g., laboratory facilities), which can ...
Framework to Evaluate Energy-Saving Potential from Occupancy Interventions in Typical Commercial Buildings in the United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Occupancy-focused interventions to reduce building energy use have been shown to be effective but often result in unsustained energy reductions. In addition, these interventions have rarely been applied to commercial ...
Recession Effects in United States Public Sector Construction Contracting: Focus on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was enacted to support the economy in response to the 2008–2009 global recession. The injection of construction funds into the public sector put pressure on public ...
Multidomain Drivers of Occupant Comfort, Productivity, and Well-Being in Buildings: Insights from an Exploratory and Explanatory Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Effective building management strategies require a clear understanding of how occupants perceive their indoor environmental conditions. Despite their important findings, previous studies were mostly limited to single-domain ...
Demographics as Determinants of Building Occupants’ Indoor Environmental Perceptions: Insights from a Machine Learning Incremental Modeling and Analysis Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The relationship between the demographical characteristics of building occupants and their perception of indoor comfort is increasingly being studied. However, the added value from accounting for such characteristics when ...
Conceptual Framework to Optimize Building Energy Consumption by Coupling Distributed Energy Simulation and Occupancy Models
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a conceptual framework that couples energy modeling with occupancy characteristics and energy use data is developed and tested to achieve two main objectives: (1) couple distinct and spatially distributed ...
