A review on occupancy prediction through machine learning for enhancing energy efficiency, air quality and thermal comfort in the built environment (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, W., Wu, Y., & Calautit, J. K. (2022). A review on occupancy prediction through machine learning for enhancing energy efficiency, air quality and thermal comfort in the built environment. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 167, Article 112704. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2022.112704

The occupants' presence, activities, and behaviour can significantly impact the building's performance and energy efficiency. Currently, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are often run based on assumed occupancy levels and fix...

Numerical evaluation of an optically switchable photovoltaic glazing system for passive daylighting control and energy-efficient building design (2022)
Journal Article
Liu, X., & Wu, Y. (2022). Numerical evaluation of an optically switchable photovoltaic glazing system for passive daylighting control and energy-efficient building design. Building and Environment, 219, Article 109170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2022.109170

Adaptive control of solar heat gain and visible light transmission through windows is perceived to be a potential measure for enhancing energy conservation and visual comfort in buildings. In this study, a novel versatile window, named Building Integ...
