Energy modeling is a crucial tool for designing efficient buildings and predicting energy consumption. However, traditional energy models often fall short in accurately representing real-world energy use. One key reason for this discrepancy is the failure to account for the complex and dynamic nature of occupant behavior. In this post, we'll explore why and how to incorporate occupant behavior patterns into energy models for more accurate predictions and better energy management strategies....

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is taking bold steps to combat climate change, with ambitious goals to slash greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. A key part of this strategy focuses on buildings, which account for nearly 40% of GHG emissions in the U.S....
