Occupancy heat gain detection and prediction using deep learning approach for reducing building energy demand

The use of fixed or scheduled setpoints combined with varying occupancy patterns in buildings could lead to spaces being over or under-conditioned, which may lead to significant waste in energy consumption. The present study aims to develop a vision-based deep learning method for real-time occupancy...

description The use of fixed or scheduled setpoints combined with varying occupancy patterns in buildings could lead to spaces being over or under-conditioned, which may lead to significant waste in energy consumption. The present study aims to develop a vision-based deep learning method for real-time occupancy activity detection and recognition. The method enables predicting and generating real-time heat gain data, which can inform building energy management systems and heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) controls. A faster region-based convolutional neural network was developed, trained and deployed to an artificial intelligence-powered camera.
