Filed: 2015-07-09
Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for the generation of more accurate usage profiles for use in the modeling of existing buildings. Building sensor data associated with individual rooms in a building can be decomposed using wavelets to identify features that correspond to heat loads generated by occupant presence and/or equipment operation. From this information, the occupancy state of individual rooms can be estimated. The estimated occupancy state for the individual rooms in the building then can be used to generate a usage profile for the building. The usage profile can be used to estimate current and/or future energy usage or costs or to control equipment in the building at a current and/or future time.
