      Global warming caused by CO2 emissions as a result of energy consumption, shows its growing effects on the average temperatures worldwide. Office buildings are responsible for a major share of the 40% of the ...
    • The Human leading the Thermal Comfort Control 
      Zeiler, W.; Boxem, G.; Van Houten, R.; Vissers, D.; Maaijen, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
      Many buildings were designed and calculated by advanced software tools and simulation tools. However in real practice these buildings do not achieve the calculated energy efficiency, but use up to 40 to 50% more energy. ...
    • Individual User Behavior Leading Factor in Comfort Control 
      Zeiler, W.; Boxem, G.; Van Houten, M. A.; Wortel, W.; Van Der Velden, J. A. J.; Kamphuis, R.; Hommelberg, M.; Broekhuizen, H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
      With global warming effects and exploding energy prices it is necessary to further optimize the energy performance of buildings. Intelligent Agents technology for individual climate control for each user of a building in ...
    • Integral Design to Enhance Climate Equipment Performance: Flexergy 
      Zeiler, W.; Boxem, G.; Van Houten, M. A.; Savanovic, P.; Wortel, W.; Van Der Velden, J. A. J.; De Haan, J. F.; Kamphuis, R.; Hommelberg, M.; Broekhuizen, H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
      Effects of Global Warming, caused largely by energy consumption, became a major concern during the last decade. Sustainable buildings became the major guiding principle for building and spatial planning practice. Improving ...
    • Multi Agent System to Optimize Comfort and Energy Flows in the Built Environment 
      Pennings, L. W.; Houten, M. A.; Boxem, G.; Zeiler, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      This paper discusses the control of building energy comfort management systems led by the economic movement within the energy market resulting in different prices. This new generation of building management systems focuses ...
    • Personalized Conditioning with Human-in-the-Loop Control Approach 
      Vesely, M.; Zeiler, W.; Boxem, G (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
      The need for individual comfort led to the development of personalized conditioning systems which improve the thermal comfort and allow to reduce energy consumption due to more effective localized energy use. However, the ...
    • Process Control on Workplace Level - User Comfort Energy Optimalization 
      Verhaart, J.; Zeiler, W.; Boxem, G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
      Utility building developments in the near future face two mayor challenges. These challenges are closely related. The first one is the pressure to reduce the amount of energy needed to acclimatize the building and the ...
