Simulating Occupant preSence and BehaviOur in BuildingS
Various factors play a part in the energy consumption of a building : its physical properties, the equipment installed for its functioning (the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, auxiliary production of electricity or hot water), the outdoor environment and the behaviour of its occupants. While software tool designers have made great progress in the simulation of the first three ...
متن کاملEnergy regulations for housing and the performance gap
The goals of energy saving and CO2 reductions to create an energy neutral building stock seem only to be reached by strict and supportive governmental policies. In Europe the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive are driving forces for Member States to develop and strengthen energy performance regulations both for new buildings (via building approval proc...
متن کاملWill drivers for home energy efficiency harm occupant health?
The U.K. government has committed to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050, with housing accounting for 27% of total current emissions. There are several drivers both to reduce emissions from homes and to reduce fuel poverty, promoting a range of building and behavioural measures in homes. The health benefits of warmer homes in winter have been described, but there has been less consider...
متن کاملThe Impact of the Building Occupant on Energy Modeling Simulations
Uncertainties regarding behavior of building occupants limit the ability of energy models to accurately predict actual building performance. Initial results show that predicted energy consumption changes by more than 150% using all high or all low values for what experts believe reasonably represents occupant behavior. Although numerous sources of modeling inaccuracies and over-simplifications ...
متن کاملNew optimisation methodology to uncover robust low energy designs that accounts for occupant behaviour or other unknowns
The use of software to aid in the design of buildings or to show compliance is now commonplace. This has led several authors to investigate the potential for using such software to automatically optimise a design, or to generate a variety of near-optimal designs. One area where this approach has been found useful is in minimising annual energy demand. It is known that any estimate of demand wil...
