Agent-based modelling and energy performance assessment: a co-simulation case study

A number of recent research efforts focus on the inclusion more detailed models occupants in building performance computing. Thereby, agent-based modelling (ABM) has theoretical potential to capture dynamic and complex patterns occupants’ presence behaviour buildings. This paper starts with a brief reference reviews state art concerning deployment ABM energy simulation. Subsequently, an illustrative case study is used explore current challenges The involves coupling simulation model evaluate influence consciousness thermal comfort preferences buildings’ performance.
