Abstract
Energy-related occupant behaviour is crucial to the design and operation of low-energy buildings. This chapter introduces state-of-the-art methods, tools, and datasets for quantifying occupant impacts on building energy use and occupant comfort. The chapter begins with an overview of how occupants can influence building environments and energy performance and highlights gaps in the abilities of building energy simulation programs to represent these ...
