Description

ASHRAE Presidential Lecture:

The influence of occupant behaviour on indoor environment and energy use in buildings

Bjarne W. Olesen Ph.D., ASHRAE President 2017-18

Professor, Intl. Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark



"Technologies alone do not necessarily guarantee low energy buildings. Occupant behavior plays an essential role in the design and operation of buildings, but it is quite often oversimplified. Occupant behavior refers to an occupant’s movement and responses to discomfort, when his/her comfort needs are not met. Occupant behavior varies with time, space, individual, and is influenced by social context. It is stochastic, complex, and multidisciplinary. Having a better understanding and modeling of occupant behavior in buildings can improve the accuracy of building simulations and guide the design and operation of buildings. This talk highlights related behavior research at various institutes."
