Comparing Scheduled, Occupancy-Based, and Adaptive Setpoint Controls for Energy-Efficient and Comfortable HVAC Operation in Educational Buildings

HVAC systems in educational buildings often operate according to fixed schedules, which can result in unnecessary cooling during periods of low or zero occupancy. This study evaluates an occupancy-based adaptive setpoint control strategy to reduce cooling energy consumption while maintaining acceptable thermal comfort....
