Abstract Occupant-Centric Control and Operation (OCC) represents a transformative approach to building management, integrating sensing of indoor environmental quality, occupant presence, and occupant-building interactions. These data are then utilized to optimize both operational efficiency and occupant comfort. This paper summarizes the findings from the IEA-EBC Annex 79 research program's subtask on real world implementations of OCC during the past 5 years. First, in and , we provide a definition and categorization of OCC. addresses the role of building operators for OCC, while describes the implications for designers. Then, and discuss the role and possibilities of OCC for load flexibility, and for pandemic induced paradigm shifts in the built environment, respectively. In , we provide a taxonomy and selection process of OCC, while details real world implementation case studies. Finally, explains the limits of OCC, and provides a vision for future research opportunities. Our findings offer valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, contributing to the ongoing discourse on the future of building operations management.
Highlights Expert summary on recent developments in occupant-centric control (OCC). We introduce definitions and categorizations of OCC. We address the role of building operators and the implications for designers. We discuss the role of OCC for load flexibility. We explain the limits of OCC and provide future research directions.
