Implementing an efficient control strategy for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems can lead to improvements in both energy efficiency and thermal …

Abstract Urban Building Energy Modeling (UBEM) is essential for urban energy-related
applications. Its generation mainly requires four data inputs, including geometric data, non …

Occupant behavior has been widely considered as one of the key influencing factors on
building energy consumption. The complexity of its formation mechanism and the dynamic …

Occupant Behavior (OB) is one of the major drivers of building energy consumption.
However, OB is usually oversimplified in Building Performance Simulation (BPS), resulting …

The energy consumption of cities is increasing fast due to growing global population and
rapid urbanization. Urban Building Energy Models (UBEMs) are promising tools to simulate …

Occupant-related inputs are significant parameters that influence energy simulation
accuracy at both the building and urban levels. In most previous research works, fixed …

Several contrasting effects are reported in the existing literature concerning the impact
assessment of the COVID-19 outbreak on the use of energy in buildings. Following an in …

Due to rapid urbanisation and the significant contribution of cities to worldwide energy use
and greenhouse gas emissions, urban energy system planning is growing more important …

The complexity of occupant behavior is one of the major contributors to uncertainty in
building performance simulation. Agent-based modeling (ABM), a computational simulation …

This paper presents a data-driven literature review of human-building interaction (HBI),
which refers to the interaction between occupants and buildings. Through natural language …
