Occupant Behaviour Modelling in Buildings: Current Status and Future Challenges
Tue, 12 Mar
|Kensington
Occupant behaviour (OB) is one of the key contributing factors to building energy consumption. Occupant behaviour features complexity, diversity, and stochasticity. Over-simplified methods to quantify the impacts of occupant behaviour in building performance simulations significantly impacts the dif

About the Event
You are kindly invited to join a public lecture by Professor Da Yan, Tsinghua University.
Professor Da Yan is a full Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University. He is the Editor-in-chief of Building Simulation and Section Editor of Energy and Buildings. He is also the Chair of China HVAC Society’s Building Simulation Committee, Chair of IBPSA-China and co-chair of ASHRAE Occupant Behaviour in Building Technical Committee TC 7.10. Professor Yan’s research mainly focuses on the development of building performance simulation software DeST, research on quantitative description of occupant behaviour and low-carbon and energy-efficiency related policy. He has published over 240 journal articles and more than 10 books, with an H-index is 53 (by google). During 2013 to 2018, he is the OA of IEA EBC Annex 66 with more than 100 participants from more than 20 countries, working on “Definition and simulation of occupant behavior in buildings”. He was the…
