TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted an online survey to study the urban residential energy and usage behavior, and found that the general trend in Chinese urban households is larger unit sizes (on average, 109m2 per household) and smaller families.
229 citations
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors presented a China Building Construction Model (CBCM) based on a process-based life cycle assessment (LCA) approach and discussed the trends in energy consumption of and carbon emission regarding China's building construction sector from 2000 to 2016.
103 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlighted the research needs of properly integrating occupant behavior in building energy polices by presenting a literature review to identify the key questions and challenges related to building technical standards and regulations, building information policies, building energy incentives, and policy evaluations and way forward.
99 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a bottom-up model was established, and the results showed the total energy consumption in the hot summer and cold winter zones (HSCW) and the influences of building envelops, heating equipment efficiency, and especially occupant behavior on energy use.
88 citations
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used the China Building Energy Model (CBEM) to model China's building energy consumption and carbon emissions up to 2050 for different scenarios based on new trends in the building and energy sectors, as well as the role of occupant behavior.

TL;DR: The work of the IPCC Working Group III 5th Assessment report as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change, which has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.
Abstract: The talk with present the key results of the IPCC Working Group III 5th assessment report. Concluding four years of intense scientific collaboration by hundreds of authors from around the world, the report responds to the request of the world's governments for a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change. The report has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present estimates of greenhouse gas emissions trends by sector from 1990 to 2018, describing the major sources of emissions growth, stability and decline across ten global regions.
Abstract: Global greenhouse gas emissions can be traced to five economic sectors: energy, industry, buildings, transport and AFOLU (agriculture, forestry and other land uses). In this topical review we synthesize the literature to explain recent trends in global and regional emissions in each of these sectors. To contextualise our review, we present estimates of greenhouse gas emissions trends by sector from 1990 to 2018, describing the major sources of emissions growth, stability and decline across ten global regions. Both the literature and data emphasize limited progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The prominent global pattern is a continuation of underlying drivers with few signs of emerging limits to demand, nor of a deep shift towards the delivery of low and zero carbon services across sectors. We observe a moderate decarbonisation of energy systems in Europe and North America, driven by fuel switching and the increasing penetration of renewables. By contrast, in rapidly industrialising regions, fossil-based energy systems have continuously expanded, only very recently slowing down in their growth. Strong demand for materials, floor area, energy services and travel have driven emissions growth in the industry, buildings and transport sectors, particularly in Eastern Asia, Southern Asia and South-East Asia. An expansion of agriculture into carbon-dense tropical forest areas has driven recent increases in AFOLU emissions in Latin America, South-East Asia and Africa. Identifying, understanding, and tackling the most persistent and climate-damaging trends across sectors is a fundamental concern for research and policy as humanity treads deeper into the Anthropocene.

TL;DR: The attempt to rethink occupant behavior and its role in building energy performance by means of review identifies four existing research gaps, namely the needs for understanding occupant behavior in a systematic framework, for stronger empirical evidence beyond individual buildings and at a larger city scale, and for linking occupant behavior to socio-economic and policy variables.
