Occupancy in Buildings
Buildings are the primary cause of Greenhouse Gases due to the emissions from generating the power to cool and heat buildings. A key opportunity to reduce the energy consumption of buildings is to only treat the areas of a building that are occupied at the moment. This work seeks to improve our understanding of the human use of buildings.
