Occupants live and work in buildings for 90% of their time. Understanding their dynamic and diverse comfort needs and their interactions with building systems is crucial to ensuring building design and operations meet energy performance goals while providing healthy and productive living and working environments. This seminar provides an overview of the new chapter, occupant-centric sensing and controls, in the 2019 Handbook, HVAC Applications volume. The new chapter includes three main sections: 1. collecting real-time occupancy and occupant comfort feedback, 2. integrating occupant feedback into HVAC control schemes, and 3. modeling and evaluating occupant-centric HVAC control systems.
