How can occupancy modeling and occupancy sensors reduce energy usage in academic buildings: An application approach to University of San Francisco
<p>Buildings are amongst the highest energy consumers relative to industry and transportation. They account for 40% of the world’s energy consumption, due to the need for lighting, equipment, heating, cooling and ventilation. Academic buildings are multi-purpose buildings that create a challenge on …
