The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the above technologies, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. method for controlling energy in a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system includes determining whether a user is absent in a use space for energy control; if the user is absent, determining whether to initiate energy control by using a user's departure and arrival probability and a probability distribution of a length of time away, which are determined based on previously stored data.

Method and apparatus for controlling energy in HVAC system

A method and apparatus for controlling an amount of buffer data in a receiver of a data communication system, and a method and apparatus for playing back streaming data stored in a buffer, using an adaptive clock synchronization unit. The apparatus for controlling an amount of buffer data in a receiver of a data communication system includes a buffer for temporarily storing data, an adaptive rate determination unit for determining a rate at which data is used using operating conditions of the receiver and an amount of data stored in the buffer, and a data utilization unit for utilizing the data stored in the buffer at the determined rate. The method for adaptively controlling an amount of buffer data in a receiver of a data communication system, comprising determining a rate at which data stored in a buffer are used, considering operating conditions of a receiver and an amount of data stored in a buffer, and utilizing the data stored in the buffer at the determined rate.
