Performance Gap and Occupant Behavior in Building Retrofit: Focus on Dynamics of Change and Continuity in the Practice of Indoor Heating
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Sustainability"
DOI: 10.3390/su12145820
Abstract: Building retrofit is often reported to fail in achieving predicted energy savings; this mismatch in post-retrofit conditions is labeled the ‘energy performance gap’ and may be due to both occupant behavior and technical issues. In… read more here.

The Role of Occupants in Buildings’ Energy Performance Gap: Myth or Reality?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Sustainability"
DOI: 10.3390/su13063146
Abstract: Buildings’ expected (projected, simulated) energy use frequently does not match actual observations. This is commonly referred to as the energy performance gap. As such, many factors can contribute to the disagreement between expectations and observations.… read more here.
