1558853 P.I.: Dong, BingThis award is in partial support of the International Workshop on Implications of Occupant Behavior for Building Design and Operation: Now and the Future. This workshop will be held on April 2, 2016 at the University of Technology, Vienna, Austria. Occupancy behavior in buildings is becoming an important topic of research as building systems become more sophisticated and people spend more time in buildings, making occupancy behavior one of the leading influencers of energy consumption in buildings. Occupancy behavior refers to occupancy presence and numbers in spaces or a building, and human-building interactions, such as opening/closing windows, blinds, and turning on/off lighting, as well as occupant preferences, such as thermal and lighting comfort. The challenges to study occupancy behavior in buildings are: (a) occupancy behavior is stochastic and complex in nature; (b) privacy issues make data collection difficult; and (c) monitoring occupancy behavior relies on various sensors with relatively high costs. The changes of built environment caused by occupancy behavior also affect occupants physiologically and psychologically. To this date, potential energy savings from occupancy behavior based applications have been evaluated both by simulations and in field studies. However, most current studies are individual and case by case, without a systematic and scalable approach. In addition, existing building infrastructure impedes the development of occupancy behavior-based industry products and applications, which will be among the topics of discussion.The ultimate goal of occupancy behavior research is to improve building design and operation in a homogeneous way for next generation energy efficient buildings. The objective of this workshop is to identify the research gaps in existing occupancy behavior research including what the obstacles are and what is needed from both academic research and industry, and the identification of future research directions. The list of topics to be discussed includes: (1) Modeling and simulation of occupancy presence in buildings; (2) Human-building interactions (3) Occupancy behavior based applications in industry. This workshop is targeted to: (a) advance the general knowledge of building science, engineering and cyber-physical systems through round-table discussions; (b) advance the knowledge of methodological development in occupancy behavior research for built environment through panel presentations and intensive technical discussions; (c) provide a collaborative platform for mechanical, civil and computer engineering faculties and graduate students to exchange ideas; (d) provide future research directions and encourage more involvement of faculties and students to participate in those research; (e) provide insights on better building design and operation for future energy efficient buildings.

1558853 P.I.：Dong, Bing 该奖项部分支持“建筑设计和运营中居住者行为影响：现在与未来”国际研讨会。该研讨会将于 2016 年 4 月 2 日在奥地利维也纳科技大学举行。随着建筑系统变得更加复杂以及人们在建筑物中花费的时间越来越多，建筑物的占用行为正在成为研究的重要课题，使得占用行为成为建筑物能源消耗的主要影响因素之一。占用行为是指空间或建筑物中的占用情况和数量，以及人类与建筑物的交互，例如打开/关闭窗户、百叶窗和打开/关闭照明，以及占用者的偏好，例如热舒适度和照明舒适度。研究建筑物占用行为的挑战是： (a) 占用行为本质上是随机且复杂的； (b) 隐私问题使数据收集变得困难； (c) 监控占用行为依赖于成本相对较高的各种传感器。居住行为引起的建成环境的变化也会对居住者的生理和心理产生影响。迄今为止，基于占用行为的应用的潜在节能效果已通过模拟和现场研究进行了评估。然而，目前大多数研究都是针对个体和个案进行的，没有系统的、可扩展的方法。此外，现有的建筑基础设施阻碍了基于占用行为的行业产品和应用的开发，这将成为讨论的主题。占用行为研究的最终目标是以下一代能源的同质方式改进建筑设计和运营高效的建筑。本次研讨会的目的是确定现有占用行为研究中的研究空白，包括学术研究和行业的障碍是什么以及需要什么，以及确定未来的研究方向。讨论的主题列表包括： (1) 建筑物占用情况的建模和模拟； （2）人与建筑的交互（3）基于占用行为的工业应用。本次研讨会的目的是： (a) 通过圆桌讨论增进建筑科学、工程和网络物理系统的一般知识； (b) 通过小组演讲和深入的技术讨论，增进建筑环境占用行为研究方法发展的知识； (c) 为机械、土木和计算机工程学院和研究生提供交流思想的协作平台； (d) 提供未来的研究方向并鼓励教师和学生更多地参与这些研究； (e) 为未来节能建筑提供更好的建筑设计和运营见解。
