DESCRIPTION:Arnab Chatterjee\nArnab Chatterjee (Integrated Comfort Enginee
 ring Lab\, EPFL) has successfully presented the private defense of his PhD
  thesis: "DIET Controller: Dynamic Indoor Environment using Deep Reinforce
 ment Learning". This research was conducted under the supervision of Prof.
  Dolaana Khovalyg\, Head of ICE Lab\, EPFL. The public defense will take p
 lace on Friday\, 21 July 2023\, at 16:00 at the Smart Living Lab in Fribou
 rg (room HBL0 21A).\n\nHeating\, Ventilation\, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
  Systems utilize much energy\, accounting for 40% of total building energy
  use. The temperatures in buildings are commonly held within narrow limits
 \, leading to higher energy use.\nA field study was performed in two offic
 e buildings in Switzerland\, and the measurements illustrated that the air
  temperature was relatively steady for most of the hours\; it was higher t
 han that prescribed by the building standards in Switzerland. Thus\, desig
 ning energy-efficient building thermal control policies to reduce HVAC ene
 rgy use while maintaining a dynamic indoor environment is essential. Also\
 , such an environment might not be the best for long-term exposure for the
  occupants.\n\nIn his PhD thesis\, Arnab Chatterjee proposes a deep Reinfo
 rcement Learning-based framework for energy optimization and healthy therm
 al environment control in buildings. As an emerging control technique\, de
 ep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has attracted growing research interest an
 d demonstrated its potential to enhance building performance while address
 ing some limitations of other advanced control techniques.\n\nRead full ab
