居住者在办公建筑的能源使用中扮演着前所未有的角色，他们通常被认为是建筑表现不佳的主要原因之一。因此，有必要捕捉影响这些能源密集型居住者行为的因素，并将其纳入建筑设计。这篇基于评论的文章提出了一个框架来代表建筑物中的居住者行为，认为：居住者并不是不合逻辑和非理性的，而是他们试图以最简单的方式恢复舒适度，但受到许多环境因素的影响。这个框架综合了居住者行为文献的统计和轶事发现。此外，它有助于居住者行为研究者形成一种系统的方法来报告有影响力的情境因素，如控制的容易程度，重新定位的自由度和社会约束。
Occupants play an unprecedented role on energy use of office buildings and they are often perceived as one of the main causes of underperforming buildings. It is therefore necessary to capture the factors influencing these energy intensive occupant behaviors and to incorporate them in building design. This review-based article puts forward a framework to represent occupant behavior in buildings by arguing: occupants are not illogical and irrational but rather that they attempt to restore their comfort in the easiest way possible, but are influenced by many contextual factors. This framework synthesizes statistical and anecdotal findings of the occupant behavior literature. Furthermore, it lends itself to occupant behavior researchers to form a systematic way to report the influential contextual factors such as ease of control, freedom to reposition, and social constraints.
