Occupant behaviour and its relation to energy use within the built environment have become
more important in recent years. This paper first describes three statistical models based on a …

In recent years, a bottom-up approach based on building-energy simulations coupled with
stochastic modelling of occupant behaviours has been intensively developed to properly …

Urban air temperature rises induced by the urban heat island (UHIE) effect or by global
warming (GW) can be beneficial in winter but detrimental in summer. The SCIENCE-Outdoor …

Densely built areas with poor thermal insulation suffer from high thermal environmental risks
and generally consume high energy in summer. Determining the relationship between …

More and more we are confronted by a contradictory situation in the world. On the one hand,
some people are wasting water, food, high quality energy and other resources. On the other …

Thermal adjustment is one of the most important behaviours. In daily life, we use some
behavioural adjustments. It is not always obtained the optimal condition by the thermal …

Recently, increasing urban temperatures due to the urban heat islands (UHI) and global
warming (GW) have been remarkable around the world. Especially in Japan, during the last …

This chapter reports the results of a survey on the attitudes of residents towards the use of air
conditioners in Indonesia. A questionnaire survey and measurements of the thermal …

抄録 In daily life, we conduct the various occupants' behaviours for thermal comfort and
health. The stochastic models of occupants' behaviours were analysed by some previous …

抄録 The necessity of research on the occupants' behavior has become more important due
to the realization of its impact on the exergy consumption profiles within the built …
