本文介绍了一种新的模拟乘员在场和行为的通用平台。这被称为No-MASS(诺丁汉多智能体随机模拟)，它生成一个合成的代理人群体，预测他们的存在，对于住宅来说，还预测他们的活动和推断的位置，以及他们对窗户、灯光和百叶窗的使用。使用功能样机接口，无质量与EnergyPlus相结合：EnergyPlus将环境参数解析为无质量，而无质量又解析回代理人行为的能量后果。在描述了无质量的体系结构和集成模型的形式之后，我们通过两个用例：一栋房子和一间办公室来演示它的实用性。最后，我们概述了无质量如何扩展以更全面地模拟占用多个建筑的代理的行为，包括数据稀缺的行为、代理之间的社会交互，以及无质量的推广以模拟电气设备及其相互作用。
This paper introduces a new general platform for the simulation of occupants' presence and behaviours. Called No-MASS (Nottingham Multi-Agent Stochastic Simulation), this generates a synthetic population of agents, predicts their presence and, in the case of residences also their activities and inferred locations, as well as their use of windows, lights and blinds. Using the Functional Mockup Interface, No-MASS is coupled with EnergyPlus: EnergyPlus parses environmental parameters to No-MASS which in turn parses back the energetic consequences of agents' behaviours. After describing the architecture of No-MASS and the form of the integrated models, we demonstrate its utility through two use cases: a house and an office. We close by outlining how No-MASS has been extended to more comprehensively simulate the behaviours of agents occupying multiple buildings, including behaviours for which data is scarce, social interactions between agents, and a generalization of No-MASS to simulate electrical devices and their interactions.
