Abstract:
By analyzing the occupancy pattern of the user, it is possible to find out the time when they are expected to go out. Based on this, if Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) can be controlled in advance, energy consumption can be reduced. The buildings are basically equipped with insulation technology, so they can maintain indoor comfort for a certain period of time even after ceasing HVAC system. Therefore, by predicting the time when the user goes out and performing the pre-control of the HVAC, the energy-saving effect can be obtained. In this paper, we propose a technique to detect periodic and repetitive outing of the resident by analyzing user’s occupancy pattern. By pre-control of the HVAC with occupancy, the energy consumption can be reduced without harming the comfort of the user.
