Modelling, Implementation and Validation Approaches, Occupancy patterns and human-building interaction have been forecasted according to several approaches, which lead to different levels of accuracy and reliability. Such models improve their usefulness when implemented in Building Energy Performance Simulation (BEPS) that, coupling specific behaviou

However, people behaviour is usually underestimated since, in the simulation environment, it is reproduced according to pre-determined and fixed rules. This static and oversimplifie

In this perspective, the current chapter investigates many adaptive actions, highlighting, in particular, the most recurring and frequent behaviours the occupants perform in buildings.
