1558853 P.I.: Dong, BingThis award is in partial support of the International Workshop on Implications of Occupant Behavior for Building Design and Operation: Now and the Future. This workshop will be held on April 2, 2016 at the University of Technology, Vienna, Austria. Occupancy behavior in buildings is becoming an important topic of research as building systems become more sophisticated and people spend more time in buildings, making occupancy behavior one of the leading influencers of energy consumption in buildings. Occupancy behavior refers to occupancy presence and numbers in spaces or a building, and human-building interactions, such as opening/closing windows, blinds, and turning on/off lighting, as well as occupant preferences, such as thermal and lighting comfort. The challenges to study occupancy behavior in buildings are: (a) occupancy behavior is stochastic and complex in nature; (b) privacy issues make data collection difficult; and (c) monitoring occupancy behavior relies on various sensors with relatively high costs. The changes of built environment caused by occupancy behavior also affect occupants physiologically and psychologically. To this date, potential energy savings from occupancy behavior based applications have been evaluated both by simulations and in field studies. However, most current studies are individual and case by case, without a systematic and scalable approach. In addition, existing building infrastructure impedes the development of occupancy behavior-based industry products and applications, which will be among the topics of discussion.The ultimate goal of occupancy behavior research is to improve building design and operation in a homogeneous way for next generation energy efficient buildings. The objective of this workshop is to identify the research gaps in existing occupancy behavior research including what the obstacles are and what is needed from both academic research and industry, and the identification of future research directions. The list of topics to be discussed includes: (1) Modeling and simulation of occupancy presence in buildings; (2) Human-building interactions (3) Occupancy behavior based applications in industry. This workshop is targeted to: (a) advance the general knowledge of building science, engineering and cyber-physical systems through round-table discussions; (b) advance the knowledge of methodological development in occupancy behavior research for built environment through panel presentations and intensive technical discussions; (c) provide a collaborative platform for mechanical, civil and computer engineering faculties and graduate students to exchange ideas; (d) provide future research directions and encourage more involvement of faculties and students to participate in those research; (e) provide insights on better building design and operation for future energy efficient buildings.

1558853 P.I。：邦格这一奖项是对国际乘员行为对建筑设计和运营的影响的部分支持：现在与未来。该研讨会将于2016年4月2日在奥地利维也纳技术大学举行。随着建筑系统变得越来越复杂，人们在建筑物上花费更多的时间，使占用行为成为建筑物中的主要影响者之一，因此建筑物的占用行为正成为研究的重要话题。占用行为是指空间或建筑物中的占用和数字，以及人类建设的互动，例如打开/关闭的窗户，百叶窗和打开/关闭照明以及乘员偏好，例如热和照明舒适。在建筑物中研究占用行为的挑战是：（a）占用行为本质上是随机且复杂的； （b）隐私问题使数据收集变得困难； （c）监视占用行为依赖于相对较高成本的各种传感器。占用行为引起的建筑环境的变化也在生理和心理上影响居住者。到目前为止，已经通过模拟和现场研究评估了基于占用行为的应用程序的势能节省。但是，大多数目前的研究都是个体和情况，没有系统的和可扩展的方法。此外，现有的建筑基础设施阻碍了基于行为行为的行业产品和应用的发展，这将是讨论的主题之一。占用行为行为研究的最终目标是以一种同质方式改善建筑物设计和运营，以实现下一代节能建筑物。该研讨会的目的是确定现有的占用行为研究的研究差距，包括学术研究和工业的障碍以及所需的障碍以及未来研究方向的识别。要讨论的主题列表包括：（1）建筑物中占用存在的建模和模拟； （2）人类建设相互作用（3）基于行业的占用行为的应用。该研讨会的目标是：（a）通过圆桌讨论提高建筑科学，工程和网络物理系统的一般知识； （b）通过小组演示和密集的技术讨论来推进建筑环境的占用行为研究的方法论发展知识； （c）为机械，民用和计算机工程学院和研究生提供了一个协作平台，以交换想法； （d）提供未来的研究指示，并鼓励更多的教职员工参与这些研究； （e）提供有关更好的建筑设计和运营的见解，以实现未来的节能建筑。
