Summary
Post-occupancy assessment is widely known and allows evaluating the energy performance of a building after it has been commissioned to draw lessons for the future. The gap between the expected performance and the performance achieved is closely related to the behaviour of the occupants and the way they use the building and its systems. The project aims to develop a virtual reality testbed (Niu et al., 2017) to model occupant behaviour to enable a more energy-efficient design (Mieke et al 2017).
