This paper examines the impact of urban context on energy performance a residential building in Athens. Current and future weather files were modified to consider heat island, overshadowing adjacent buildings, modification wind speed due effects canyons. Dynamic thermal simulations carried out using files. The results indicate that there was change heating cooling demand comparison typical files; reduced, but increased with total increase demand. There variation height, while impacts significantly. analysis also indicates are periods year negligible. During these periods, passive strategies can be used maintain good internal air quality if occupants informed how use their windows shading devices according prevailing conditions. A method achieving this occupant-centric operation is described, an intervention study discussed. It shows environmental improved by occupant actions based forecast conditions direct them.
