Influence of resident behaviour on building energy consumption of ultra-low energy residential buildings

Abstract

He ultra-low energy building is considered to be an important path to achieving carbon neutrality in buildings. In order to profoundly investigate the correlation between behaviour and building energy efficiency, the influence of behaviour on energy consumption in ultra-low energy buildings was investigated by means of theoretical analysis and field tests. Results revealed that the difference in energy consumption was caused by the household situation, living habits and subjective consciousness of the occupant. It can be seen that studying the behaviour of ultra-low energy building occupants can provide valuable insights for achieving low and zero carbon social housing.
