effect of occupant behavior and control systems on the reduction of energy needs of residential buildings

Semprini, Giovanni; Barbieri, Davide; Gober, Alessandro; Zandi, Francesca

Abstract Adoption of energy metering systems in apartments with centralized heating plant will lead to greater awareness of the users on energy consumptions. Moreover control systems allow to manage internal temperature according to kind of occupation of the apartment. Starting from the energy consumption of a case study, an apartment block in Bologna, this paper shows the results, based on dynamic simulation, of reduction of energy needs resulting from retrofitting on the building envelope and the effects of thermoregulation systems. Different setting of the internal temperature in adjacent apartments can lead to a variation of energy consumption up to 30%.
