District heating and cooling systems have evolved through several development stages in
order to improve their energy efficiency. The latest development reached the fifth generation …

Building energy use is highly sensitive to its occupants' energy-related behavior, including
their presence and interaction with different building systems. The modeling and simulation …

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

Agent-based modeling is an advanced computational technique capable of representing
complex and dynamic processes of human behavior in building performance simulation …

Collective self-consumption (CSC) is often presented as an approach for better energy
management. This paper proposes a multi-agent and multi-level model to analyze the …

Energy-related occupant behaviour is crucial to design and operation of energy and control
systems in buildings. Occupant behaviours are often oversimplified as static schedules or …

Improving the understanding of coupled natural human systems (CNHS) can better inform
environmental policymaking. We investigated the co-evolution (ie, bidirectional interactions) …

The concept of modular building performance simulation has been accredited with
considerable potential to realize the vision of an integrated building simulation platform for …
