Information

Model predicting the state of the blinds with the indoor temperature.

Dynamics

When the space is unoccupied, the blinds are always down. When the space is occupied, the lower TIn is, the higher the chance that the blind is up.

References

The model is documented in the paper "Haldi, F. and Robinson, D., 2008. On the behaviour and adaptation of office occupants. Building and environment, 43(12), pp.2163-2177."

The model parameters are regressed from the field study in eight Swiss office buildings in 2006.
