Energy-related occupant behavior in buildings is a key issue for building design optimization, energy diagnosis, performance evaluation, and building energy simulation. Occupant information modeling is significant for understanding the occupant behavior in buildings. This seminar provides an overview of key objectives and state-of-art research topics related to occupant information modeling and discusses how to integrate occupant information into the building design and operation stages to improve both the building energy performance and the occupant comfort. The seminar will also cover methods, tools and data to facilitate the occupant information modeling.
