Impact of COVID-19 on Academic Campus Energy Use
Pages 322 - 323
Abstract
This poster compares energy use of the campus of the University of Texas at Austin during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 to that of previous years. Our results show change in weekly aggregate chilled water and electricity consumption as a result of changes in building operation schedules and the response of utility demand to changing occupancy.

Integrating Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Information Model (BIM) to improve HVAC efficiency: a case study in Darwin
EBIMCS '23: Proceedings of the 2023 6th International Conference on E-Business, Information Management and Computer ScienceA significant increase in energy consumption by the building sector has led to a substantial rise in greenhouse gas emissions. This study addresses the importance of integrating a Building Management System (BMS) and BIM to utilise heating, ventilation, ...
iProgram: Inferring Smart Schedules for Dumb Thermostats
BuildSys '15: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM International Conference on Embedded Systems for Energy-Efficient Built EnvironmentsHeating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) accounts for over 50% of a typical home's energy usage. A thermostat generally controls HVAC usage in a home to ensure user comfort. In this paper, we focus on making existing "dumb" programmable ...
Centralized Management of HVAC Energy in Large Multi-AHU Zones
BuildSys '15: Proceedings of the 2nd ACM International Conference on Embedded Systems for Energy-Efficient Built EnvironmentsHVAC control strategies that exploit temporal variations in zone occupancy have been well studied. However, at a given time, occupancy can also vary spatially within a single large zone with no internal wall partitions, that is served by multiple AHUs. ...
