Information

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

Dynamics

When the space is unoccupied, the window is always closed. When the space is occupied, the Probability of closing or opening the window depends on the outdoor air temperature.

References

The model is documented in the paper "Yun, G.Y. and Steemers, K., 2008. Time-dependent occupant behaviour models of window control in summer. Building and Environment, 43(9), pp.1471-1482."

The model parameters are regressed from the field study in offices without night ventilation, located in Cambridge, UK in summer time (13 Jun. to 15 Sep., 2006).
