Enabling Self-aware Smart Buildings by Augmented Reality

, 2018
Conventional HVAC control systems are usually incognizant of the physical structures and materials of buildings. These systems merely follow pre-set HVAC control logic based on abstract building thermal response models, which are rough approximations to ...
