Statistical Modelling of Occupant Behaviour covers a range of statistical methods and models used for modelling energy- and comfort-related occupant behaviour in buildings. It is a classical textbook on statistics, including many practical examples related to occupant behaviour that are either taken from real research problems or adapted from such.
The main focus is traditional statistical techniques based on the likelihood principle that can be applied to occupant behaviour modelling, including:
- General, generalised linear and survival models
- Mixed effect and hierarchical models
- Linear time series and Markov models
- Linear state space and hidden Markov models
- Illustration of all methods using occupant behaviour examples implemented in R
Statistical Modelling of Occupant Behaviour is written for researchers and advanced practitioners who work with real-world applications and modelling of occupant data. It describes the kinds of statistical models that may be used in various occupant behaviour modelling research. It gives a theoretical overview of these methods and then applies them to the study of occupant behaviour using readily replaceable examples in the R environment that are based on actual and experimental data.

Notă biografică
Jan Kloppenborg Møller, PhD, Engineering, is an associate professor in stochastic dynamical systems at the technical university of Denmark (DTU). He received a master of applied mathematics from DTU (2006), and a PhD in engineering from DTU (2011). His research is concentrated on modelling and forecasting of (continuous or discrete time) stochastic dynamical systems. He has been involved in projects and worked on many different systems such as: ecosystems, urban draniage, waste water treatment, wind and solar power forecast, and occupancy behavior. In all cases, focus has been on models that have a clear interpretation of states and parameters.
Møller has taught six different courses in statistics on levels ranging from bachelor to PhD-level. This includes a redesign of the introductory statistics courses at DTU, and the redesign of a second level course in statistics. His research concentrates on stochastic dynamical systems, using the appropriate tools and pushing advanced methods (like stochastic differential equation) towards application areas such as: wind power forecast, electricity load, and occupant behavior.
Marcel Schweiker is a full professor leading the Teaching and Research Area Healthy Living Spaces at the Institute for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine at University Hospital RWTH Aachen in Germany. He received a degree in Architecture from the University of Kassel in Germany, and spent four years at Tokyo City University in Japan, where he received a PhD in Environmental and Information Sciences in 2010. Until 2020, he was a researcher and lecturer at the Department of Architecture at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, and received from there, the postdoctoral lecture qualification (habilitation) in 2017. In parallel, between 2019 and 2020, he had a temporary professorship for Energy and Technology at the Faculty of Architecture, TU Kaiserslautern in Germany.
Schweiker’s research and teaching surround several disciplines including: architecture, engineering, medicine, and psychology. His core interests are in improving our understanding of indoor environmental conditions promoting well-being and health within the built environment. He was in charge of building the LOBSTER, a unique facility for experimental studies, and is a sub-task leader in two international working groups under the umbrella of the International Energy Agency – Energy in Buildings and Communities program. He is a member of DIN/ISO standardization committees on ergonomics of the physical environment, published numerous research articles, and acquired project funding from local, sources such as Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, national, DFG, BMBF, BMWK, and international, and the EU.
Rune Korsholm Andersen, PhD, is a senior researcher at the International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy, Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He received a Master of Science in Engineering (2005) from DTU, and a PhD in indoor environment and occupant behaviour (2009) from DTU.
His research focuses on understanding, modelling, and influencing the impact of occupants’ behaviour on the indoor environment, and energy use in buildings. He uses long and short-term field measurements, questionnaire surveys, semi-structured interviews, building energy performance simulations, and chamber studies with human subjects, combined with statistical analysis and modelling, to gain insight into the understanding of the underlying reasons for observed behaviour patterns. He has published numerous research articles, and acquired research funding from Danish ministries, state financed research programs, private research foundations, and EU funding sources.
Burak Gunay, PhD, PEng is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. He holds a B.A.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey (2009), an M.A.Sc. (2011), and Ph.D. (2016) in Civil Engineering from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. He is the recipient of multiple prestigious awards including seven best paper awards and Governor General’s Gold Medal for his doctoral research. He is the principal investigator of the Datadriven Building Operation and Maintenance Laboratory. He has been affiliated with relevant professional organizations, and has held several leadership positions such as elected board member (2014-2024) and president (2022-2024) for the Canadian Chapter of the International Building Performance Simulation Association. He was a subtask
co-leader at the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme’s Annex 79 (2019-2023).
His research examines methods to optimize the operation of buildings for comfort, energy use, and demand flexibility. He uses operational data, gathered inside modern automation and control networks, to learn from the occupants’ comfort, behaviour, and presence patterns. Using operational data, he employs inverse modelling to characterize building equipment operation and the envelope performance. Aside from field-scale data analyses, his research commonly uses building performance simulation.
