Simulation is recognized as an effective tool for building energy performance assessment during design or retrofit processes.Nevertheless,simulation models yield deviating outcomes from the actual building performance and a significant portion of this deviation originates from the dynamic nature of occupant behavior.Literature on occupant behavior indicates that occupant behavior is not integrated into building energy performance assessment procedures with appropriate resolution,instead they are accepted as assumed and fixed data sets that usually represent the presence of occupants.This study attempts to evaluate the effect of diverse patts of occupant behavior on energy performance simulation for office buildings.Diverse levels of sensitivity of occupant behavior on control-based activities such as using lighting apparatus,adjusting thermostat settings,and presence in space are employed through three diverse occupant behavior patts.These occupancy patts are correlated with three identical office spaces simulated within a conceptual office building.EDSL Tas is used to run building energy performance simulations.Effects of occupant behavior patts on simulation outcomes are compared for five sample winter and summer workdays,with respect to heating and cooling loads.Results present findings on how diversity of occupancy profiles influences the consumption outcomes.
