Discussion
- Change in EWMA -> potentially more energy reduction
- Change in frequency -> potentially less energy reduction
- Higher frequency -> more importance in EWMA
- Lower EWMA -> more importance in frequency
Conclusions
- By manipulating EWMA and frequency, we can achieve significant energy savings while maintaining the setpoint temperatures for occupancy comfort.
- Average temperature remains roughly constant
- Less power consumption -> slightly greater reaction time
Future Work
- Account for temperature setpoints being manipulated by occupants
- Consider psychological aspects of occupancy comfort
- Expand simulation to be able to account for more controller specifications
