Abstract:
For the target of energy demand estimation of residential buildings in urban scale, occupants’ behavior model has been paid much attention. In this paper, a new model for simulating occupants’ behavior schedules in urban scale has been proposed using only public stochastic data (national lifetime survey) combined with Dynamic Time Warping and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithms. We use this proposed model to simulate the working-male’s behavior schedules with 5-mintues interval in resting day as an example. The simulated results - percentages of occupants adopt the given behavior at specific moments are calculated and compared with public stochastic data to verify the accuracy. Compared with existing models, the proposed model is more efficient and accurate. We believe this model could be useful for building energy demand estimation in urban scale combined with appliance operation possibility based on occupants’ behaviors.
