Highlights Abstract The user persona is a communication tool for designers to generate a mental model that describes the archetype of users. Developing building occupant personas is proven to be an effective method for human-centered smart building design, which considers occupant comfort, behavior, and energy consumption. Optimization of building energy consumption also requires a deepContinue reading “Towards automated occupant profile creation in smart buildings: A machine learning-enabled approach for user persona generation”

Assistance from the Ambient Intelligence: Cyber–physical system applications in smart buildings for cognitively declined occupants
Abstract Caregivers have traditionally provided assistance and care to patients with cognitive decline, but this has resulted in financial and emotional burdens for both caregivers and patients, impacting their quality of life. To address this issue, Ambient Assistive Living (AAL) technologies that incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can replace or complement caregivers by enabling intelligentContinue reading “Assistance from the Ambient Intelligence: Cyber–physical system applications in smart buildings for cognitively declined occupants”
Internet of Things Enabled Data Acquisition Framework for Smart Building Applications
Abstract With the networks of sophisticated sensors and devices, building systems have the potential to serve as the infrastructure that provides essential data for the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart city paradigm. However, current building systems lack intersystem connectivity or exposure to the more extensive networks of IoT devices. In this paper, the authors proposeContinue reading “Internet of Things Enabled Data Acquisition Framework for Smart Building Applications”
