occupant presence and behavior are non-negligible factors affecting building energy consumption. It should be emphasized: guaranteed building core functions is a prerequisite for energy saving. This paper proposes a method that can minimize building energy consumption and improve occupant comfort. Through monitoring the entry and exit of a 24-person office, occupant presence is obtained. And the difference in comfort of occupants is investigated and analyzed. The occupant is moved to a seat that is more thermally comfortable. Then occupants with a high degree of overlap in-room time are gathered in the same lighting area to reduce lighting energy consumption. Through the multi-objective optimization model, the lighting energy consumption is reduced by 16.2%, and the overall indoor comfort is slightly improved.
