Abstract Smart home technologies have long been envisioned as a mainstay in future residential buildings; however, residential smart home technologies have fallen short of expectations. Generally referred to by the literature as occupant-centric controls (OCC), a subset of these technologies focus on sensing and/or managing systems based on occupant feedback, preferences, or perceptions. While past reviews have documented OCC applications in commercial and industrial building types, residential applications have been rarely distinguished as their own unique application of OCC. This article critically reviews the state-of-the art research in both simulation and field-experiments – neither of which fully align with existing commercial smart home OCC technologies. Study demographics, location, building systems, implementation objectives, and experimental methods are compared and critiqued to understand where research, through simulation and field-experiments, needs to be focused. Key identified shortcomings include: low diversity of studied building systems, overly simplified simulation scenarios, short durations of field testing, inappropriate choices of occupant types, and non-standardized implementation performance metrics and test cases. Furthermore, innovation is hampered by limited standardization in technology communication protocols, the inability to integrate systems from different manufacturers, missing technology transfer protocols to translate researched implementations into commercial applications, and a lack of vision and planning for future policies and technologies that enable effective and comprehensive smart home implementations.

有人在家吗？住宅建筑中以居住者为中心的智能暖通空调控制实施的批判性审查

摘要 智能家居技术长期以来一直被设想为未来住宅建筑的支柱。然而，住宅智能家居技术并没有达到预期。文献中通常将其称为以乘员为中心的控制 (OCC)，这些技术的一个子集侧重于基于乘员反馈、偏好或感知的传感和/或管理系统。虽然过去的评论记录了 OCC 在商业和工业建筑类型中的应用，但住宅应用很少被区分为它们自己独特的 OCC 应用。本文批判性地回顾了模拟和现场实验中的最新研究——两者都与现有的商业智能家居 OCC 技术完全一致。研究人口统计、位置、建筑系统、实施目标、对实验方法进行比较和批评，以了解需要通过模拟和现场实验进行研究的重点。确定的主要缺点包括：所研究的建筑系统的多样性低、模拟场景过于简化、现场测试持续时间短、居住者类型选择不当以及非标准化的实施性能指标和测试案例。此外，技术通信协议的标准化有限、无法集成来自不同制造商的系统、缺少将研究实施转化为商业应用的技术转让协议以及缺乏对未来政策和技术的远见和规划以实现有效和全面的智能家居实施。
