Patterns of occupant interaction with window blinds: A literature review

摘要: Abstract There is no comprehensive consensus about the way people operate blinds or motivating factors that influence their decisions. However, there a substantial body of research, encompassing data from more than 50 buildings worldwide, offers guidance. Patterns blind use can affect energy consumption substantially and therefore daylighting simulations do not account properly for these patterns will have greater error. An outline new nuanced model simulation-based control offered. Specifically, this paper reviews implications use, occlusion rate change field studies, specific quantitative measures influencing user control, investigations into acceptance automated finally conclusions knowledge gaps are summarized suggested next steps research provided. Addressing critical continued progress efficiency movement.
