Effects of occupant behavior on the energy performance of dwellings

“…There are many examples of the use of SA in building thermal modeling (Bedir, et al, 2011;Corson, 1992;Fürbringer and Roulet, 1999;Harputlugil, et al, 2011;Lam and Hui, 1996;Macdonald, 2004;Spitler, et al, 1989;Westphal and Lamberts, 2005). For energy-sensitivity simulation models, a set of input parameters and their values are defined and applied to a building model, and the simulated energy consumption of the model is used as a base for comparison to determine the extent to which output (here measured in terms of heating energy demand per year) changes as a result of particular increments of input values (Corson, 1992;Harputlugil, et al, 2011). The results show which parameters can be classified as "sensitive" or "robust."…”

“…The results show which parameters can be classified as "sensitive" or "robust." Sensitive parameters are those that cause effective changes in the outputs when changes are made to their values; in contrast, a change to robust parameters causes a negligible change in the outputs (Harputlugil, et al, 2011). Hamby (1994); Hansen (2007); and Saltelli, et al (2000) discussed the various classifications of SAs, including local SAs and global SAs.…”

Existing Knowledge About Occupant Behavior and Energy Consumption

“…There are many examples of the use of SA in building thermal modeling (Bedir, et al, 2011;Corson, 1992;Fürbringer and Roulet, 1999;Harputlugil, et al, 2011;Lam and Hui, 1996;Macdonald, 2004;Spitler, et al, 1989;Westphal and Lamberts, 2005).

A Performance-Based Decision Support Workflow for Retrofitting Residential Buildings

“…Parametric simulation tools offer great opportunities for informative support in the early design phase as they help to examine alternative design solutions for improving building performance and determining the effectiveness of different design parameters for these solutions as well as simulation-based optimisation tools that enable decision makers to find the most appropriate solution for a specific purpose among these alternative solutions. It is possible to say that the design solutions based on many studies conducted in this context concentrate on geometry (settlement scale [34][35][36][37][38], building scale [37][38][39][40][41][42][43]), building envelope [42,[44][45][46][47][48] and energy systems [42,46,49,50] and renewable energy systems [50][51][52][53][54]). Prioritising these design solutions by considering quantitative or qualitative criteria for energy-efficient building design or building retrofitting is the focus of these research studies.…”
