Building-in-Briefcase (BiB)
Kevin Weekly, Ming Jin, Han Zou +3
A building's environment has profound influence on occupant comfort and health. Continuous monitoring of building occupancy and environment is essential to fault detection, intelli…
Sequential Logistic Principal Component Analysis (SLPCA): Dimensional Reduction in Streaming Multivariate Binary-State System
Zhaoyi Kang, Costas J. Spanos
Sequential or online dimensional reduction is of interests due to the explosion of streaming data based applications and the requirement of adaptive statistical modeling, in many e…
SoundLoc: Acoustic Method for Indoor Localization without Infrastructure
Ruoxi Jia, Ming Jin, Costas J. Spanos
Identifying locations of occupants is beneficial to energy management in buildings. A key observation in indoor environment is that distinct functional areas are typically controll…
Social Game for Building Energy Efficiency: Utility Learning, Simulation, and Analysis
Ioannis C. Konstantakopoulos, Lillian J. Ratliff, Ming Jin +2
We describe a social game that we designed for encouraging energy efficient behavior amongst building occupants with the aim of reducing overall energy consumption in the building.…
Modeling of End-Use Energy Profile: An Appliance-Data-Driven Stochastic Approach
Zhaoyi Kang, Ming Jin, Costas J. Spanos
In this paper, the modeling of building end-use energy profile is comprehensively investigated. Top-down and Bottom-up approaches are discussed with a focus on the latter for bette…
Environmental Sensing by Wearable Device for Indoor Activity and Location Estimation
Ming Jin, Han Zou, Kevin Weekly +3
We present results from a set of experiments in this pilot study to investigate the causal influence of user activity on various environmental parameters monitored by occupant carr…
