• An international review of occupant-related aspects of building energy codes and standards 

      O'Brien, William; Tahmasebi, Farhang; Andersen, Rune Korsholm; Novakovic, Vojislav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In light of recent research, it is evident that occupants are playing an increasingly important role in building energy performance. Despite the important role of building energy codes and standards in design, the ...
    • International survey on current occupant modelling approaches in building performance simulation 

      O'Brien, William; Gaetani, Isabella; Gilani, Sara; Carlucci, Salvatore; Hoes, Pieter-Jan; Hensen, Jan L.M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      It is not evident that practitioners have kept pace with latest research developments in building occupant behaviour modelling; nor are the attitudes of practitioners regarding occupant behaviour modelling well understood. ...
    • Occupancy and occupants’ actions 

      Schweiker, Marcel; Carlucci, Salvatore; Andersen, Rune Korsholm; Dong, Bing; O'Brien, William (Chapter, 2018)
      Occupants’ presence and actions within the built environment are crucial aspects related to understanding variations in energy use. Within this chapter, first, a nomenclature for the field of research dealing with occupants ...
