Information

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

Dynamics

When the space is unoccupied, the window is always closed. When the space is occupied, Markov method was utilized to determine the state of the window. The probability of opening and closing the window depends on both the indoor and outdoor temperature.

References

The model is documented in the paper "Haldi, F. and Robinson, D., 2009. Interactions with window openings by office occupants. Building and Environment, 44(12), pp.2378-2395."

The model parameters are regressed from the field study in the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory (LESO-PB) experimental building, located in the suburb of Lausanne, Switzerland for a period covering 19 December 2001–15 November 2008.
