Unmasking the Role of Remote Sensors in Comfort, Energy and Demand Response

arXiv:2404.15368v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: In single-zone multi-room houses (SZMRHs), temperature controls rely on a single probe near the thermostat, resulting in temperature discrepancies that cause thermal discomfort and energy waste. Augmenting smart thermostats (STs) with per-room sensors has gained acceptance by major ST manufacturers. This paper leverages additional sensory information to empirically characterize the services provided by buildings, including thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and demand response (DR). Utilizing room-level time-series data from 1,000 houses, metadata from 110,000 houses across …
