Information

Model predicting the state of the window with the outdoor air temperature and occupancy.

Dynamics

When the space is unoccupied, the window is always closed. When the space is occupied, the lower the outdoor temperature is, the lower the chance to open the window.

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. The outdoor air temperature range during the study is 5 ~ 35 degC.
