Study on Models for Occupant Energy-using Behavior of Residential Buildings in Hot Summer Cold Winter Regions
Residents'energy use behavior has a major impact on the actual residential energy load and its changes.Residents in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Climate Zones generally adopt a part-space,part-time indoor environment regulation mode,and the uncertainty of the regulation behavior makes it difficult to accurately predict the characteristics of residential energy use.The study,with Changsha as an example,conducted cluster analysis based on research questionnaires and actual energy use data,classified occupant behavior into four categories:time-type,heat sensation-type,mixed-type,and no air-conditioning-type in winter.Their typical characteristics were summarized to build a typical probabilistic model of air-conditioning action behavior.The simulation results were compared with the residential heating and cooling energy consumption data from the study and the actual measurements,and the behavioral probability and behavioral model were fitted based on the actual measurements of the model to verify the reliability of the occupant behavior model.The applicability of the occupant behavior model and its construction method were further discussed.This study would provide a more reliable simulation basis for the pre-assessment of building energy-saving policies and standards,the analysis and prediction of the appropriateness of energy-saving technologies,and the construction of a flexible energy-use system based on demand-side adjustments in the region,and provide a reference for behavioral modeling study in the same climatic region.
