Functional buildings have a significant energy demand; therefore, improving the thermal and energy performance of such buildings requires knowledge about the variables that influence them. However, to increase the potential for improving thermal and energy performance of buildings, studies must also consider the occupant's interactions with the built environment. The occupant behaviour influences the conditions of the internal environment through the occupation of indoor building spaces and through the interaction with building elements, such as air-conditioning, lighting, blinds and windows. Occupant Behaviour in Buildings: Advances and Challenges brings together reviews of these influential aspects, presenting updates on advances and questions that pose challenges in our current understanding of behavioural modeling and its application to building design. Special topics covered in the book include methods to survey occupant behavior, building design choices, occupant behaviour impact on a building's thermal and energy efficiency, and, finally, a simulation of occupants in a building.\u003c\/p\u003eKey Features\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Presents up-to-date information on occupant behaviour in buildings\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Eight chapters, written by renowned researchers, provide readers with useful insights on the subject\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Includes a case study of buildings in Brazil\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Structured reader-friendly content\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- References for further reading\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis reference is an informative resource for students and professionals in architecture, civil engineering, building information design, and urban planning.
