Conclusions and Future Challenges
Abstract Occupants’ behaviour in buildings has been recently recognised as one of the main aspects influencing the overall energy consumptions. The users’ decision-making process is a complex mechanism, affected by surrounding’s conditions, personal features and random events. However, people behaviour is usually underestimated since, in the simulation environment, it is reproduced according to pre-determined and fixed rules. This static and oversimplified approach led to incorrect evaluations, energy wastes and big discrepancies between real and predicted building performance. Such considerations are even more relevant for the nZEBs. Due to the recent regulations on the energy reduction, the nZEBs’ diffusion is (and will be) the main target of the building sector. As a consequence, reliable evaluations are essential to reach the nZEB target. In this view, this book aims at offering a complete overview of the human perspective, especially in nZEBs. In particular, this final Chapter aims at providing recommendations and suggestions for a correct inclusion of the behavioural components in the building process and it also reports some open problems and future directions. The considerations regard many different (but strictly connected) aspects: the triggers of users’ behaviour, the effects of users’ actions both in environmental and energy terms, the methods to acquire behavioural data and the development of behavioural models.
