Seminar 10 -- Occupant Behavior Analysis and Application Based on Large-Scale Datasets

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Current worldwide efforts by researchers and engineers on occupant behavior have achieved plenty outcomes including data collection, model establishment, model evaluation, simulation integration, etc. Most current research deals with research objects within room or buildings. With the application scale enlarged, from the data collection, model establishment to application scenarios, the research methodology needs to be redesigned accordingly. This seminar will cover an overview of the investigation of occupant behavior research at a large scale based on datasets from HVAC operation, mobile position and residential thermostats. The research helps develop ASHRAE standards and/or guidelines for building design and operation.
