A methodology for modelling energy-related human behaviour: Application to window opening behaviour in residential buildings

摘要: An energy simulation of a building is mathematical representation its physical behaviour considering all the thermal, lighting, acoustics aspects. However, cannot precisely replicate real construction because simulations are based on number key assumptions that affect results accuracy. Above all, performance can be affected by actual occupants. Thus, there great benefits to derived from improving models simulate human beings within context engineered complex systems. The occupant related control potentialities very process has been studied only in last years with some focuses natural ventilation (window opening behaviour), space heating demand (in particular adjustments temperature set-point) and light (focusing window blinds adjustments). In this paper, methodology presented model user use applied case study. methodology, medium/long-term monitoring, aimed at shifting towards probabilistic approach for modelling indoor environment. procedure occupants’ interactions windows (opening closing behaviour). Models were inferred measurements implemented program. Simulation given as probability distributions consumption environmental quality depending behaviour.
