Abstract
⺠Investigates performance of energy-efficient building climate-control algorithms as a function of their complexity. ⺠Simulations are performed with multiple types of zone, occupancy, outside weather, and geographic location. ⺠Shows that significant amount of energy savings without sacrificing comfort are possible with only occupancy measurements. ⺠Feedback controller performs as well as optimal controller if only occupancy measurements are used. ⺠Availability of occupancy prediction leads to small energy savings.
