Specifically, we study the trade-off of (possibly conflicting) objectives like temperature tracking, saving energy, and minimizing energy cost. We compare the proposed formulations to conventional proportional control for a modern office building. Our findings indicate that, if price incentives are sufficiently high, a concrete core activation system significantly increases the load shifting capabilities of office buildings.enconcrete core activationModel predictive controlthermal building controlComputer SciencesNatural Resources, Energy and EnvironmentMathematicsConference Paper10.1109/ISGTEurope.2019.8905593Other
