Buildings’ expected (projected, simulated) energy use frequently does not match actual observations. This is commonly referred to as the performance gap. As such, many factors can contribute disagreement between expectations and These include, for instance, uncertainty about buildings’ geometry, construction, systems, weather conditions. However, role of occupants in gap has recently attracted much attention. It even been suggested that are main cause This, turn, led suggestions better...
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...
A discussion of sustainability in architecture cannot be meaningfully carried out without the inclusion most buildings’ central purpose, namely provision indoor environments that are accommodating occupants’ needs and requirements. To this end, building designers operators expected to demonstrate compliance with codes standards pertaining environmental quality (IEQ). However, majority conventional IEQ standards, codes, guidelines have a single-domain character, they address terms number...
The influence of an external drag to account for the secular decrease semi‐major axis LAGEOS is reexamined. We develop a theory neutral and electric more refined than those previously available. charge appears be most likely cause about 1.1 mm day −1 . Likewise we show existence annual semiannual variations connected with orientation satellite's orbital plane respect sun. Finally express as n 5/6 T 2/3 in terms ion number density absolute temperature. rate fall constrains range possible...
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' energy use in the operation phase can significantly deviate from prior estimations obtained calculation or simulation. This divergence is commonly labelled as performance gap and multiple factors have been suggested to be responsible for it, including, prominently, occupants' behaviour. However, literature on contributors magnitude of rather inconclusive. The purported role occupants main culprit likewise insufficiently substantiated. paper poses treats 10 questions address these...
Professionals in the building design and operation fields typically look at standards guidelines as a reliable source of information guidance with regard to procedural, contractual, legal scope requirements that are relevant accountability issues compliance necessities. Specifically, indoor environmental quality (IEQ) support professionals bring about comfortable thermal, air quality, acoustic, or visual conditions buildings. In this context, it appears essential regularly examine IEQ...
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...
Increasingly intelligent energy-management and safety systems are developed to realize safe economic automobiles. The realization of these is only possible with complex distributed software. This development poses a challenge for verification validation. Upcoming standards like ISO 26262 provide requirements validation during phases. Advanced test methods requested critical functions. Formal specification appropriate testing strategies in different stages the cycle part it. In this paper we...
Within a study, an open plan area and one closed office in university building with floor of around 200 m2 were monitored. The present data set covers period year (from 2013-01-01 to 2013-12-31). collected pertains indoor environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) as well plug loads external factors humidity, wind speed, global irradiance) along occupants' presence operation windows lights. monitored can be used for multiple purposes, including the development validation...
