Minimizing commercial building cost in smart grid: an optimal meeting scheduling approach
Minimizing commercial building cost in smart grid: an optimal meeting scheduling approach
We develop a mathematical programming approach to schedule meetings in an organization over a fixed period of time, while minimizing the wasted energy and possibly achieving more balanced demand distribution. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program subject to a set of realistic constraints including people's available time slots and energy consumption characteristics of the meeting rooms. Two objective functions are considered: minimizing the total energy used and minimizing the total energy cost. Our simulations illustrate that using the optimal schedule may result in significant savings, both economical and environmental.

Abstract
We develop a mathematical programming approach to schedule meetings in an organization over a fixed period of time, while minimizing the wasted energy and possibly achieving more balanced demand distribution. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear program subject to a set of realistic constraints including people's available time slots and energy consumption characteristics of the meeting rooms. Two objective functions are considered: minimizing the total energy used and minimizing the total energy cost. Our simulations illustrate that using the optimal schedule may result in significant savings, both economical and environmental.
