Key performance indicators regarding user comfort for building energy consumption management
This paper proposes an optimization approach to minimize the power consumption of an office building considering user comfort and key performance indicators. The present approach implements the power reduction by reducing power consumption of lights and air conditioners as reducible loads, and imple...
