This paper discusses the impact of user energy choices on building energy demand, and
how energy choices could be influenced to minimise building energy consumption using …

Buildings are responsible for a large portion of global energy consumption. Therefore, a
detailed investigation towards a more effective energy performance of buildings is needed …

ABSTRACT A core principle of sustainable building performance is to provide comfortable
living and working environment for occupants while at the same time prevent high energy …

Buildings play a dominant role in global efforts towards energy consumption reduction,
greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation, as well as global clean energy transition …

This study sets out to bridge the gap between building energy simulation and empirical
evidence on occupant behaviour. The major output is a self-contained simulation module …

It is essential to understand how significantly occupants' actions impact the performance of a
building, as a whole, in terms of energy use. Consequently, this paper reviews the available …

Occupants are integral elements of a building ecosystem and their behavior can have a
substantial impact on energy consumption in buildings. A wide range of energy feedback …

Reducing the energy consumed in the built environment is a key objective in many
sustainability initiatives. Existing energy saving methods have consisted of physical …

Existing building and district energy management strategies are in urgent need of an
overhaul to meet the energy and environmental challenges of the 21st Century. The …

Coupled and distributed simulation helps in understanding the complexity arising from the
combined effects of interdependent systems, by connecting and exchanging information …
