2 MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR SPACE HEATING IN 290 "IDENTICAL " DWELLINGS in DENMARK THE HIGHEST ENERGY CONSUMPTION ARE 3 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE LOWEST ONES

3 INFLUENCING FACTORS ON ENERGY CONSUMPTIONS IEA-ECBCS Annex 53 CLIMATE BUILDING ENVELOPE HVAC I.E.Q. OCCUPANT BEHAVIOUR OPERATION & MANAGEMENT Designed building energy performances Real building energy consumption IEA-EBC Annex 66 Reducing GAP between actual and predicted building energy consumptions Users Education and Engagement

4 PRINCIPLES of OB ENERGY RELATED ACTIONS Occupant s stimolus and reactions - Indoor DRIVERS Psychological parameters ACTIONS & ACTION SCENARIOS Physical parameters - IAQ - Outdoor temperature temperature - Rain - Wind -Season -.. Possible actions (combinations and sequences) -Window opening/closing - Use of thermostat/manual valves -Clothes changes -. Contextual parameters -Season - Time of the day -.. Physiological parameters Social parameters Action aimed at improving IEQ and/or reducing EC with respect to the previous perceived status PARAMETERS VARIATIONS -Variation on the air change rate -Variation on clothing thermal resistance - IEQ ENERGY CONSUMPTIONS
