Energy conservation tests with simulated occupancy
Whether testing the heating systems or the role of factors like house insulation, it is difficult to relate experimental results to 'real' situations. Occupiers' reactions vary, and the vagaries of the weather at different periods can also confuse the picture. An experiment at the UK Building Research Establishment uses two identical houses at the same location, both unoccupied and both controlled with a micro-processor, to simulate automatically occupier's behaviour in great detail— drawing curtains at night, running hot water, dining, watching TV and so on.
