Abstract

Airports are major energy consumers in the aviation sector, yet the booming global air transport and urgent climate challenges drive airports, the urban energy black holes, toward sustainable transformation. However, the increasing passenger flows, over-regulated indoor environments, and inadequate energy system controls impede the process of low-carbon development at airports. The study provides a comprehensive overview of three areas: passenger flow prediction and impacts, sensing and prediction of indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and energy systems management. Firstly, it summarizes methods for predicting airport passenger flow and characteristics, and examines the impact of changes in passenger flows on the IEQ and energy consumption. Then, the current status, characteristics, and prediction methods of the indoor environmental quality of airport terminals are evaluated, focusing on the limitations of prediction methods and improvement strategies. Additionally, the application of renewable energy, passive design methods, and advanced control technologies in airport terminals is systematically reviewed, emphasizing these solutions' benefits, risks, and future directions. Finally, the linkages between the occupants, indoor environment, and energy systems in airports are explored, and an innovative closed-loop framework of the occupant-environment-energy system is proposed. This work provides viable insights for airport managers to achieve efficient energy governance and sustainable transformation of airports.

动态乘员、室内环境质量和机场能源系统控制：系统综述

机场是航空业的主要能源消耗者，然而，蓬勃发展的全球航空运输和紧迫的气候挑战推动机场这一城市能源黑洞走向可持续转型。然而，客流量的增加、室内环境的过度管制以及能源系统控制的不足阻碍了机场低碳发展的进程。该研究提供了三个领域的全面概述：客流预测和影响，室内环境质量（IEQ）的感知和预测，以及能源系统管理。首先，总结了机场客流预测方法及其特征，并分析了客流变化对机场环境质量和能耗的影响。然后，对机场航站楼室内环境质量的现状、特点和预测方法进行了评价，重点分析了预测方法的局限性和改进策略。此外，系统回顾了可再生能源、被动式设计方法和先进控制技术在机场航站楼中的应用，强调了这些解决方案的效益、风险和未来方向。最后，探讨了机场人员、室内环境和能源系统之间的联系，提出了一种创新的人员-环境-能源系统闭环框架。这项工作为机场管理者实现高效的能源治理和机场的可持续转型提供了可行的见解。

期刊介绍： The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
