Implementing an efficient control strategy for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems can lead to improvements in both energy efficiency and thermal …

Occupant behavior has been widely considered as one of the key influencing factors on
building energy consumption. The complexity of its formation mechanism and the dynamic …

Abstract Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) is essential for urban energy-related
applications. Its generation mainly requires four data inputs, including geometric data, non …

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in urban building energy modeling
(UBEM), owing to its potential benefits for cities. These benefits include aiding city decision …

Occupant Behavior (OB) is one of the major drivers of building energy consumption.
However, OB is usually oversimplified in Building Performance Simulation (BPS), resulting …

The substantial stock of European buildings, accounting for more than 40% of energy
consumption, has prompted member states to establish a renovation standard with stringent …

The energy consumption of cities is increasing fast due to growing global population and
rapid urbanization. Urban Building Energy Models (UBEMs) are promising tools to simulate …

Occupant-related inputs are significant parameters that influence energy simulation
accuracy at both the building and urban levels. In most previous research works, fixed …

The building and construction industry has consistently been a major contributor to energy
consumption and carbon emissions. With stochastic interactions between occupants and …

Due to rapid urbanisation and the significant contribution of cities to worldwide energy use
and greenhouse gas emissions, urban energy system planning is growing more important …
