Multi-agent simulation of occupant behavior impact on building energy consumption
Résumé
Building energy consumption and environmental emission are significantly influenced by end-users and build-ing energy simulations tools are used to optimize the performance of the building. Currently, most of the simulation tools considered oversimplified behavior and contribute to the energy gap between the predicted and actual consumption. However, the building energy performance also depends on occupant dynamic behaviors and this tools fails to capture the dynamic occupant behavior. To overcome this, developing a co-simulation platform is an effective approach to integrate an occupant behavior modeling using a multi-agent-based simulation with building energy simulation tools. The co-simulation process is conducted in Building Control Virtual Test bed (BCVTB), a virtual simulation coupling tools that integrate the two separate simulations on a time step basis. This method is applied to a case study of a multi-occupant office building within an Engineering school in France. The result shows the applicability and relevance of the developed platform.
