Human-Building Interaction for Energy Conservation in Office Buildings
Buildings are one of the major consumers of energy in the U.S. Both commercial and residential buildings account for about 42% of the national U.S. energy consumption. The majority of commercial buildings energy consumption is attributed to lighting (25%), space heating and cooling (25%), and ventilation (7%). Several research studies and industrial developments have focused on energy management based on maximum occupancy. However, fewer studies, with the objective of energy savings, have considered human preferences. This research focuses on office buildings' occupants' preferences and their contribution to the building energy conservation. Accordingly, occupants of selected university campus offices were asked to reduce lighting levels in their offices during work hours. Different types of information regarding their energy consumption were provided to the occupants. Email messages were used to communicate with the occupants. To monitor behavioral changes during the study, the test bed offices were equipped with wireless light sensors. The deployed light sensors were capable of detecting variations in light intensity, which was correlated with energy consumption. The impact of different types of information on occupant's energy related behavior is presented.
