Questions about Occupancy Monitoring Systems
How do occupancy sensors improve building management?
Occupancy sensors help optimize energy usage, security measures, and space utilization by providing real-time data on occupancy levels.
What are the key factors to consider when implementing an occupancy monitoring system?
Key factors include sensor accuracy, data integration with building systems, and privacy considerations for occupants.
Original Abstract Submitted
An occupancy count of the space of a building from each of a plurality of occupancy sensors may be monitored and an error parameter for each of the plurality of occupancy sensors may be identified, each error parameter representative of a difference between the occupancy count of the respective occupancy sensor and a ground truth occupancy count of the space, normalized over a period of time. An assigned weight for each of the plurality of occupancy sensors may be determined based at least in part on the respective error parameter. The estimated occupancy count of the space of the building is determined based at least in part on the occupancy count of each of the plurality of occupancy sensors and the assigned weight of each of the plurality of occupancy sensors. The BMS system is controlled based at least in part on the estimated occupancy count.
