Rethinking the role of occupant behavior in building energy performance: A review
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.
