Occupant Behavior Monitoring and Engagement: Low Investment Measures to Optimize IEQ and Save Energy in Buildings

The most important types of interactions of occupants with the building façades or control systems are defined. The models available to integrate human behavior on simulations are explained. Results of the different studies, both field works and simulations, are presented and discussed. The corrective measures to improve the indoor environmental quality are explained, as well as the strategies to promote more environmental friendly behaviors.
