- Abstract
- Most of the window use models developed for building energy simulations include physical environmental variables as drivers. Even though it is a common approach to include these variables, the validity of this approach can be questioned based on observations in the literature regarding the consistency and seasonality of the relationship between these variables and the window use. Additionally, it was questioned whether this approach could capture the inter-occupant diversity. To assess the extent of the uncertainties, modelling methods from the literature were applied to a case study. The results revealed that a large share of the variance in window use can be attributed to the season and the household-ID. This indicates that the window use varied across the year but was stable within one season, and that these behaviours differed significantly between households. Thus occupants interacted with windows according to seasonal habits, more so then according to momentaneous environmental conditions.
