Building occupants are continuously exposed to multiple indoor environmental stimuli,
including thermal, visual, acoustic, and air quality related factors. Moreover, personal and …

Despite new energy-efficient technologies in buildings, discrepancies between predicted
and actual energy use continue to occur, mainly due to the complexity and variability of …

This study aims to investigate the extended role of goal-framing theory (GFT) on the energy-
saving air conditioners called inverter air conditioners (IACs) in the context of the developing …

Designing a zero emission neighborhood (ZEN) from an energy point of view, has the
benefit of distributing loads over time by creating a mosaic of buildings which individually …

Occupants play a key role in determining final building energy consumption. Empirical
evidence must support occupants' modelling. Experiments on human responses to Indoor …

Occupant behavior has a significant impact on building energy consumption and
sustainable development of the community. In-situ monitoring of occupant behavior is one of …

Occupant behavior significantly influences building energy consumption. However, two
research gaps exist, namely, the lack of firsthand data for a complete understanding of the …

The world has not been able to achieve minimum greenhouse gas emissions in buildings'
energy consumptions because the energy and emissions optimization techniques have not …

Background Human impacts on the environment are so great that we are at risk of changing
the state of the planet from one that is hospitable to one that is hostile to humanity. Scientists …

In contemporary consumer culture, various heuristics are offered to guide individuals in
making sustainable packaging choices, such as favoring paper packaging over plastic and …
