建筑物的能源需求已被证明是变化很大，由于不同的居住者的能源使用行为。在建筑物中，居住者受到社会压力和影响，这有助于调节什么是可接受的行为，什么是不可接受的行为，包括能源使用行为。这种社会影响力的传递和社会规范的建立是通过社交网络进行的。最近的研究已经检查了由于通过社交网络的社会影响而引起的居住者能源使用行为的变化，但是一次只考虑一种网络类型。因此，本研究探讨网路型态对居住者能源使用行为与消费之影响。基于代理的建模应用于探索网络类型的影响，减少能源消耗的两个独立的行政行为：增加社会连通性和实施环境冠军。结果表明，社会网络类型是不显着的，在确定平均能源使用的变化，但当考虑到系统达到平衡所需的时间，通过收敛或分组。此外，如果没有环保卫士，增加社会联系会产生不良影响;然而，有了环保卫士，增加社会联系可以大大减少实现节能所需的时间，并扩大节能效果。
The energy demands of buildings have been shown to vary considerably due to differences in occupant energy use behavior. In buildings, occupants are subject to social pressures and influences which help moderate what is and what is not acceptable behavior, including energy use behavior. This transmission of social influence and the creation of social norms occur through social networks. Recent research has examined changes in occupant energy use behavior due to social influence through social networks, but has done so considering only one network type at a time. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of network type on occupant energy use behavior and consumption. Agent-based modeling is applied to explore the effect of network type for two separate administrative actions on reducing energy consumption: increasing social connectivity and implementing environmental champions. Results indicate that social network type is not significant in determining mean energy use change, but is when considering the time required for the system to reach equilibrium, through convergence or grouping. Additionally, increasing social connectivity has undesired effects without the presence of environmental champions; however, with them, increasing social connectivity can significantly decrease the time required to realize energy savings and amplifies the reductions.
