现代信息和通信技术（ICT）的应用具有相当大的节能潜力。这些技术都有很好的文档记录，但在这些应用中，往往忽略了建筑物用户的影响和作用。居住者在节能方面的作用很重要；人类行为在很大程度上影响已实现的能源消耗。因此，有必要将人类行为纳入建筑服务的运营中。适应用户行为和需求的额外（无线）传感器、智能监控和驱动系统将在进一步降低建筑总体能耗方面发挥关键作用。 通过实时跟踪办公室占用情况，可以防止不必要的消耗。早期的研究Mahdavi（Mahdavi，2011）表明，超过40%的时间里，居住者不在他们指定的工作场所。这项研究的目的是评估当地气候控制的节能潜力，防止空置点的调节。通过无线服务网络（WSN）进行实验，以确定办公室的实际使用情况。在一家参与的工程公司的办公室里进行了这项技术的现场测试。 实施占用控制跟踪系统将使该办公室的能耗降低17%。引文:美国丹佛市ASHRAE会议论文

The application of modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) holds a considerable energy saving potential. Thetechnologies are well documented, however often the influence and role of the users of the building is overlooked in these applications. The role ofthe occupant in relation to energy saving is important; the human behavior has a largely influence realized energy consumption. Therefore it isnecessary to incorporate the human behavior in operation of the building services. Additional (wireless) sensors, smart monitoring and actuationsystems adapted to the user behavior and requirement will play a key role in the further reduction of overall energy consumptions in buildings.Through real time tracing of the occupation of offices unnecessary consumption can be prevented. Earlier research Mahdavi (Mahdavi,2011)showed that over 40% of the time occupants were not on their designated workplace. The purpose of this research is to assess the energy savingpotential of local climate control, by preventing the conditioning of unoccupied spots. Experiments were set up with Wireless Service Networks(WSN) in order to identify the actual use of an office. A field test with this technology was set up in an office of a participating engineering firm.Implementation of a tracking system for occupancy control should lead to a 17% energy reduction for this office.
