ZonePAC: Zonal Power Estimation and Control via HVAC Metering and Occupant Feedback
| Content Provider | CiteSeerX |

| Abstract | Heating Ventillation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems ac-count for nearly 40 % of primary energy consumption by commer-cial buildings. Yet, these systems by and large operate in an open-loop with the building occupants. While the monitoring and feed-back of comfort conditions is by (much smaller) zones, the HVAC control systems operate on energy metering and monitoring at the scale of entire buildings. ZonePAC attempts to bridge this gap be-tween metering, monitoring and control by providing an embedded sensing and information management architecture that provides for effective participation by the building occupants in zonal HVAC settings that directly affect the building scale HVAC control sys-tem. Our results from a deployment of 65 users spread across 51 zones in a 145,000 square feet commercial building demonstrate the viability and effectiveness of ZonePAC. |
