A library of building occupant behaviour models represented in a standardised schema

摘要: Over the past four decades, a substantial body of literature has explored impacts occupant behaviour (OB) on building technologies, operation, and energy consumption. A large number data-driven behavioural models have been developed based field data. These lack standardisation consistency, leading to difficulties in applications comparison. To address this problem, an ontology was using drivers-needs-actions-systems (DNAS) framework. Recent work carried out implement theoretical DNAS framework into eXtensible Markup Language (XML) schema, titled ‘occupant XML’ (obXML) which is practical implementation OB that can be integrated performance simulation (BPS) programs. This paper presents newly library represented standardised obXML schema format. provides ready-to-use examples for BPS users employ more accurate representation their models. The library, contains initial effort 52 models, made publicly available community. As part development process, limitations were identified addressed, future improvements proposed. Authors hope by compiling building, modellers from all over world enhance integrating robust patterns.
