Abstract

Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning system is leading a trend of optimization for occupant-relevant built environment energy performance. In this study, we present a new indicator, comfort equity and optimization technique to improve this occupant-related system energy performance comprehensively with the utilization of indoor trajectory data. Multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to conduct optimal temperature setpoint solutions to optimize thermal comfort, comfort equity and energy efficiency.
