Technology alone will not achieve building energy conservation goals, and humans and
their energy-related behavior in buildings must be included in energy performance efforts …

Among the sufficiency, efficiency, and renewable frameworks for reducing energy use and
energy-related carbon emissions, Building Energy Sufficiency (BES) is gaining attention …

In the present research, a high-resolution, detailed electric load dataset was assessed,
collected by smart meters from nearly a thousand households in Hungary, many of them …

This paper presents an approach for using rich datasets to develop different building
archetypes depending on the urban energy challenges addressed. Two cases (building …

The proliferation of urban sensing, IoT, and big data in cities provides unprecedented
opportunities for a deeper understanding of occupant behaviour and energy usage patterns …

Abstract In Urban Building Energy Models (UBEMs), buildings are usually modelled via
archetypes describing occupants' behaviour via fixed schedules. This research (i) creates …

Occupancy patterns are key elements in improving our understanding of building energy
usage and implementing demand-oriented strategies to reduce energy consumption …

Energy communities enable close cooperation and collaboration among members (ie,
consumers, producers, and prosumers), where buildings, energy resources, and loads can …

This systematic literature review examines Occupant Behaviour (OB) modelling in
residential buildings, focusing on its role in narrowing the energy performance gap and …

Different stakeholders are involved in the energy consumption in buildings: occupants,
designers, managers, operators, policymakers, technology developers and vendors …
