This paper introduces a database of 34 field-measured building occupant behavior datasets collected from 15 countries and 39 institutions across 10 climatic zones covering various types in both commercial residential sectors. is comprehensive global about behavior. The includes occupancy patterns (i.e., presence people count) behaviors interactions with devices, equipment, technical systems buildings). Brick schema models were developed to represent sensor room metadata information. publicly...
Abstract Current predictions of climate change impacts rely on conservative assumptions about a lack adaptation, projecting significantly increased heatwave mortality. However, long-term studies have shown decline in actual deaths, raising questions the underlying mechanisms. We combined Eurostat weekly mortality data (baseline extracted via Seasonal-Trend decomposition by Loess and smoothed through Principal Component Analysis dimension reduction reconstruction) with economic indicators,...
There are important reasons to offer building users the possibility adjust indoor-environmental conditions. For one thing, people sharing same indoor environment, may have different needs, requirements, and preferences. The set of conditions would thus not satisfy everyone. Moreover, even an individual user's preferences can change considerably, given fluctuations in state their disposition health, as well physical cognitive activities. After a brief discussion available information evidence...
Buildings are expected to provide healthy and comfortable indoor environmental conditions for their users. Such have diverse dimensions, including thermal, visual, air quality, auditory, olfactory aspects. Indoor quality standards, guidelines, codes typically inform professionals in the building design operation phase view of procedural, contractual, legal boundary conditions. Given this critical role it seems significant examine applicability scientific validity on a regular basis. In...
Hot and dry climate air pollution is a growing problem in urban areas, this can have an adverse impact on life health of residents. One the ways to protect people from hazard use green or street greenery. However, its implementation be problematic highly urbanized areas. This paper presents concept structure (GS), designed, still being developed, by Adam Kalinowski where cooling efficiency based synergy shade evapotranspiration. The GS that could used as furniture, small architecture form...
The form, attractiveness, functionality, and exterior appearance of buildings have been important considerations in architecture for centuries. Large common spaces, sharing daylight, the use large glazing are also important. Combining many these factors, with atriums form a focal point, create social meeting place, contribute to attractiveness building by providing open interior space. In cold moderate climates, atrium roof is as climate often not conducive outdoor activities. Using an...
The number of occupancy and occupant behaviour models developed for building performance simulation (BPS) has steadily increased the past four decades. However, their use is still limited in practice. This partly due to difficulty understanding utility challenges related implementation into BPS. Both problems can be attributed lack a framework description communication. In this paper, we fill gap by introducing document models, that represents state-of-the-art available information on topic....
Abstract Determining a building’s “as built” heat loss coefficient (HLC) is one of the key starting points to understand role residents’ practices in heating or cooling-related energy consumption. It also point for white-box modelling different behaviour scenarios within given home environment. Co-heating test recognised experimental method evaluate fabric thermal performance. involves quasi-stationary homogeneous experiment performed on an unoccupied dwelling. This paper discusses results...
Occupants’ attitudes and behavior have a significant influence on energy water consumption in buildings. To provide more robust solutions, efficient applications should consider occupant-building interaction. However, there is question to be answered: which aspects of lodging occupant cause the most substantial increase these mediums. Thus, aim this study investigate household characteristics occupants’ level variability utilities consumption. The uses results measuring campaign...
Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) are a way to use building structure as thermal energy storage. As result, renewable sources may be used more efficiently. The paper presents numerical analysis of HVAC system with TABS demand and indoor comfort representative room in non-residential (governmental, commercial, educational). purpose is investigate the influence user profile on performance. time span one year – typical meteorological year. model was prepared using generally accepted...
Energy is consumed in buildings through the use of various types energy systems, which are controlled by occupants via provided interfaces. The quality this control should be verified to improve efficiency systems and for comfort occupants. In case residential buildings, due privacy reasons, it problematic directly monitor human–building interactions using sensors installed dwellings. However, data from increasingly common smart meters easily available. paper, potential heat explored...
Abstract One of the important areas occupant–building fabric interaction with IEQ consequences is windows’ shading. The relevance shading has been explored through modeling studies in context energy, daylighting and thermal comfort, typically aiming to inform design stage. In owner occupied housing architectural sets scene for subsequent residents’ decisions concerning windows treatment. Here, based on varied treatments 20m 2 living room window observed during an in-depth building...
The paper describes the concept of DomTrzon which means ‘ecological house’. Measurements carried out in existing building are presented. Based on this data envelope model assumptions verified. A simplified a wood-lag accumulation stove (NunnaUuni) is proposed. indoor thermal comfort and building’s final energy consumption investigated using TRNSYS simulation software. During periods when occupied, most zones fulfill requirements. DomTrzon, for heating purposes, equal to 66 kWh/m2/year.
