abstract = "Reducing building energy consumption has received growing attention in the recent decades. The primary energy consumption in buildings is related to heating, ventilation, cooling, and lighting systems. A well-design control system may result in a significant reduction of energy usage. This paper presents and implements three strategies to control and analyze energy consumption in buildings. The schedule, real-time monitoring and a multi-agent system are compared with the baseline energy consumption in a university office. Devices and human agents are introduced to investigate the real-time trend in energy usage and to optimize the consumption of energy, based on the location of occupants. Initial results demonstrate potential energy saving of 16% in the office.",
