Abstract: In building energy modelling (BEM), occupant behaviour (OB) is of significance. Meanwhile, equally important is the practical implementation of the OB models in BEM simulations. In this paper, we first built OB models that predict window state based on Bernoulli process. Different thermal, visual, and acoustic parameters from a university and an office building were investigated. Then, the derived models were implemented in a BEM simulation environment IDA ICE through a co-simulation approach, which broadens the possibility of practical application of OB models in IDA ICE. In future work, the proposed framework is considered as a basis for further investigation on non-design-related parameters and uncertainties in OB.
