Model predicting the state of the East-oriented windows with the outdoor air temperature and occupancy.
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.
The model is documented in the paper "Zhang, Y. and Barrett, P., 2012. Factors influencing the occupants’ window opening behaviour in a naturally ventilated office building. Building and Environment, 50, pp.125-134."
The model parameters are regressed from the field study in a naturally ventilated office building in Sheffield, UK in 2005/2006. The outdoor air temperature range during the study is 0 ~ 30 degC.
