Abstract	Nowadays, control of heating, cooling and ventilation equipment operation is mainly achieved via timers with fixed setback schedules, configured using experience and standard models of space occupancy. Applying generic timing strategies is however rarely optimal. Sensor-based systems offer a solution for dynamic control of equipment operation using real-time space occupancy input, but both deployment time and cost constraints hinder their integration if savings and return on investment are uncertain. This work introduces COPOLAN, a tool that correlates power consumption patterns and computers' VLAN activity. Utilising computers' VLAN activity auditing is key to obtain the power state of employees' computer equipment over time, a prime indicator of employees' presence within a building. At low cost and non-invasively, COPOLAN uncovers misalignment and produces ground for (1) determining opportunities of improving HVAC timing strategies and (2) helping decision making prior to integrating new equipment such as sensor-based systems. COPOLAN has been experimented on within a University department, where misalignment between power consumption and space occupancy patterns have highlighted 10% energy saving opportunities.
