PIRS: Physics-Informed Reward Shaping for SAC-Based Building Energy Management
Researchers introduce PIRS (Physics-Informed Reward Shaping), a method that improves deep reinforcement learning controllers for building energy management by replacing ad-hoc comfort metrics with ISO 7730 Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) standards. Tested on CityLearn v2.1.2, PIRS demonstrates competitive performance against manual baselines while substantially outperforming non-physics-grounded approaches in load ramping and peak demand metrics.
