In the last four decades several methods have been used to model occupants' presence and
actions (OPA) in buildings according to different purposes, available computational power …

Interior layouts of a building may influence the presence and movement of occupants, which
can lead them to participate in a certain activity, energy-saving behaviour for instance, which …

Improving the reliability of energy simulation outputs is becoming a pressing task to reduce
the performance gap between the design and the operation of buildings. Occupant …

Occupant behavior in buildings might result into gap between predicted and actual energy
use and cause indoor thermal comfort fluctuations, due to its uncertainty and …

The heat and electricity integrated energy systems (HE-IESs) have a bright prospect in future
energy systems owing to their excellent economic and environmental performance. Many …

Occupant behaviour is an important source of uncertainty in building energy performance
simulations. This has led to the development and integration of different modelling …

Building energy use is highly sensitive to its occupants' energy-related behavior, including
their presence and interaction with different building systems. The modeling and simulation …

This research aims to diagnose the energy performance of buildings in València and identify
areas where energy efficiency can be improved. The energy performance results of all …

The analysis presented in this paper evaluates the impact of both short-term and long-term
stay home living on the energy consumption of Saudi residential building stock. The analysis …

The reliability of building performance simulation is hindered by several uncertainties, with
aleatory uncertainty due to occupant behavior being one of the most critical. The present …
