(v) Rebound effects of post-occupant building performance, including energy performance, human comfort, indoor environmental quality, greenhouse gas emission and workplace productivity can be divided into two stages.
A case study demonstrates that the evacuation model effectively simulates the coexistence and interactions of the major factors including occupants, building geometry, and fire disaster during the evacuation.
These metrics provide an indication of building performance from an occupant-building interaction perspective, serving a purpose much like traditional building performance metrics.
Some uncertainties of fire dynamics, occupant characteristics, building environment are considered in the process.
A case study is presented, which consisted of indoor air quality measurements, occupant diary, building survey and occupant interviews in a Passivhaus social housing project in the UK.
This paper provides guidance, examples, and critical discussion for developing and applying occupant-centric building performance metrics.
The interaction of occupants with building controls is often cited as a key factor behind this discrepancy.
When I visited 195 Mare Street, the occupants were building barricades in expectation of a visit from the landlord the next morning (photo by Tom Johnson).
This study investigates the potential applicability of BNs to capture underlying complicated relationships between various influencing factors and energy-related behavioural actions of occupants in buildings: in particular, window opening/closing behaviour of occupants in residential buildings is investigated.
In residential buildings, occupant behavior and occupancy status have a significant impact on energy consumption variation.
In practice, local officials often sell land-use rights without consulting the occupants of buildings on the land.
