Dynamic Scheduling of HVAC Systems’ Occupied Period using Access Control Data (LB-17-C055)

Intelligent building management systems aim to maintain thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption by learning occupant’s habits and behaviors. A component of these systems is dynamic scheduling, which ensures the HVAC system is only in use when the building is occupied. This paper develops dynamic schedules of building occupancy for an office building in London and estimate the effectiveness through a building simulation.
