	abstract = {This study aims at dynamically controlling the cooling setpoint temperatures based on comfort-driven temperature distributions for two scenarios without and with ceiling fans. Leveraging a subset of the ASHRAE Global Occupant Behavior Database, real-time data from a thermal comfort field study in Singapore were extracted. To assess the energy implications of the dynamic setpoints, we simulated the cooling energy use for medium office building in Miami. Our results show that incorporating dynamic changes in occupant comfort can tailor HVAC systems while yielding potential energy savings of 1.3% for the case without fans and 4.9% for the case with fans.},
