People spend nearly 90% of their time in buildings. Recent research studies demonstrated that occupant behaviors have significant impact on the building performance in relation to indoor environment and energy use. With the support from ASHRAE, we have developed a global occupant behavior database that collects and stores field-measured occupant data, including occupant schedules (presence and people counting) and occupant behaviors (interactions with devices, equipment and systems in buildings) from 17 countries around the world. This seminar aims to introduce case studies and data analysis based on this Global Occupant Behavior database.
