Improved occupancy monitoring in non-domestic buildings

open access: yesSustainable Cities and Society, 2017
Measuring occupancy can facilitate energy efficiency in non-domestic buildings, when control systems are able to adjust heating and cooling based on demand rather than fixed schedules. The variable “occupancy profile” itself is rarely considered as a control system parameter in building energy management systems (BEMS), and this is largely because ...
