A critical review of occupant energy consumption behavior in buildings: How we got here, where we are, and where we are headed

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 182, P. 113396 - 113396

Published: May 30, 2023

Occupant behavior has been widely considered as one of the key influencing factors on building energy consumption. The complexity its formation mechanism and dynamic interaction with buildings have aroused extensive discussion. However, there remains a lack comprehensive systematic review to provide panorama occupant consumption research. This research, therefore, aims (1) explore evolution research; (2) investigate knowledge base domains (3) identify current research gaps propose future directions. Bibliometric approach content analysis were applied 2791 relevant articles published from 2001 2022. It was found that focus evolved simple discussion individual at beginning information-based complex behaviors. A total 45 keywords 10 clusters identified. Eight directions finally recommended based identified researcher gaps, including algorithmic innovation, multi-source heterogeneous data fusion, interdisciplinary, extension standardization behavioral models, diversification types, synergism collective perspective, novel intervention strategies. differs previous ones because it could minimize subjectivity bias compared traditional manual review. results this can potential researchers sufficient in field inspire them directions, which contributes further achieving energy-saving goals perspective occupants' buildings.
