Occupant behaviorData-driven methodsDeep learningMachine learningStochastic methodsPRISMAIn the last four decades several methods have been used to model occupants' presence and actions (OPA) in buildings according to different purposes, available computational power, and technical solutions. This study ...
building operation and maintenance, and (6) occupant behavior, as the driving factors of energy use in buildings. While there has been significant progress in the first five focus areas, there lacks ∗ Corresponding author at: Building Energy Research Centre, Tsinghua University, ...
People spend more than 90% of their life time in buildings, which makes occupant behavior one of the leading influences of energy consumption in buildings. Occupancy and occupant behavior, which refer to human presence inside buildings and their active interactions with various building system such ...
Occupant behavior is widely recognized as one of the influential parameters on building energy consumption and it is a source of uncertainty in building performance. Post-occupancy evaluations also show that buildings often do not meet the expectations of occupants. While the full final report of ...
occupant behaviorenergy efficiencyThe objective of this paper is to discover the emergent energy performance and determinants of energy waste in buildings. Electricity consumption in the U.S. attributes to 73% of energy waste in buildings and much of this waste is due to improper design, operation...
occupant behavioroccupancy profileselectricity consumptionThe objective of obtaining high performance energy buildings can be reached considering the contemporaneous effects of technical characteristics and occupancy. Recent studies report that as buildings become more energy efficient, the behavior of occupants ...
摘要: Occupant behavior determines the performance of buildings much more than many building details. This is especially true in organizations with flexible work hours, if occupancy is taken into account by the control systems and users interact with the building...
An occupant-centric zoning design framework for flexible workplaces was proposed.Various scenarios combining occupancy modeling and building operation were explored.Thermal comfort and building energy usage were improved by 8 and 13%, respectively.Agent-based model does not always produce a better design...
This approach does not address the stochastic nature of lighting energy use, which can be influenced by occupant behavior in buildings. This study analyzes the main characteristics of lighting energy use over various timescales, based on the statistical analysis of measured lighting energy use data ...
