arXiv:2510. 01475v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Model Predictive Control (MPC) has demonstrated significant performance improvements over today's control methods for residential Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), but deploying MPC often requires substantial engineering effort.

arXiv:2608. 09453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On--off cycling is the main cause of compressor wear in residential heat pumps, yet reinforcement learning (RL) controllers for buildings typically optimise only energy cost and thermal comfort, ignoring how much the learned policy cycles.

arXiv:2607. 27914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-zone variable-air-volume control must balance thermal comfort, indoor air quality, and electricity use across several continuous actuators.

arXiv:2608. 04265v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluations of LLM planning agents largely ask whether a task succeeds or a declared plan is followed.

The paper reviews 194 papers on using artificial intelligence to optimize data center energy use, coding 63 of them. It finds that most control studies validate only in simulation, none consider water withdrawal or embodied carbon, and savings estimates overlap across methods, preventing ranking. The authors propose CLEAR‑DC, a framework that links control and workload demand through elasticity, reports net benefits, and records energy, carbon, water, embodied share, and validation venue.
