Modeling method for behavioral change related to energy consumption in office space: Changes in graduate students' power operation of automated office equipment by information provision

초록

Information provision can encourage behavioral changes in household occupants to conserve energy. However, there are few examples for public spaces. Moreover, previous research on occupants' behavior provide few examples on modeling the operation of automated office equipment. For increased energy savings, it is important to switch-off equipment when not in use. This paper proposes a method to model occupants' behavior of operating office equipment. The energy-saving effects of information provision on graduate students are evaluated using the model. This research will be the basis of more effective information provision in the future. © 2020 Architectural Institute of Japan. All rights reserved.
