Intelligent Climate Control in University Residences for Temporary Guests

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Residential buildings are excellent cases for utilizing intelligent climate control solutions. They typically consist of spaces used by individuals or small groups of people, where each individual/group is independent in terms of routines and comfort preferences. Often, these individual spaces are used solely for overnight stays, meaning they remain unoccupied for most of the time. Climatization systems that operate independently of actual space usage or user comfort preferences are highly inefficient for this kind of scenario. Additionally, residents usually pay based on the duration they stay in the residence (per day or month), without any direct allocation of costs related to climatization. This contributes to the residents’ lack of responsibility in their use of the climatization, as they have no financial or environmental impact concerns. In this paper, the authors report a case study conducted in a university residence for short-term stays intended for visiting professors and researchers. The experience was done aiming at the reduction of energy consumption with climatization. The solution ensures that individual space control is allowed according to each resident’s preferences. This case study also posed challenges in assigning and maintaining access permissions to control the climatization system.
