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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
