Abstract

Commercial complexes, as energetic and large energy consumers, are of great importance. With the increasing trend of energy and environmental concerns, smart energy management has been proposed as a key solution to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy-related costs in commercial complexes. In this regard, the use of innovative technologies and intelligent methods for optimal energy management, energy consumption reduction, and improvement of thermal comfort in these complexes is of particular importance. This research examines the importance and effects of smart energy management on thermal comfort in commercial complexes. In this analysis, smart energy management methods including the use of smart systems, utilization of renewable energy sources, and energy consumption management are investigated. Moreover, the impacts of these methods on energy consumption reduction, reduction of energy costs, and enhancement of comfort and thermal convenience in commercial complexes are examined. The results of this analysis indicate that implementing smart energy management in commercial complexes can lead to improved energy performance, reduced energy costs, and increased comfort and thermal convenience.
