Title:

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING ENERGY IN HVAC SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/152696

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a sensor network, Machine Type Communication (MTC), Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, and technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.A method for controlling energy in a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system includes determining whether a user is absent in a use space for energy control; if the user is absent, determining whether to initiate energy control by using a user's departure and arrival probability and a probability distribution of a length of time away, which are determined based on previously stored data; upon determining to initiate energy control, determining a departure probability for each of a plurality of time intervals and a probability distribution for a length of going out that has occurred for each time interval, based on the previously collected and stored data; selecting a time interval for performing energy control based on a user arrival probability that is calculated based on the determined probability distribution.
