Occupant behaviour (OB) is recognized as a leading source of uncertainty in building performance predictions. Neglecting the potential influence of uncertainties on building performance could result in erroneous decision-making during the design phase. Therefore, it is essential that uncertainties are appropriately considered within building performance simulation (BPS) models. As for OB, there are various approaches to model occupant presence and actions in BPS tools. Literature shows that the appropriate modelling approach depends on the object and purpose of the simulation, which makes it difficult to favour a method over another a priori. Moreover, there is very little support for selecting the most appropriate modelling approach. As a result, OB is modelled in practice in various ways, mostly dictated by intuition and habit. This study builds on previous literature to introduce and test a complete approach for appropriate OB modelling. The method can be generalized and readily applied to design questions.

在建筑性能预测中，人们的行为（OB）被认为是不确定性的主要来源。忽略不确定性对建筑性能的潜在影响可能会导致在设计阶段做出错误的决策。因此，在建筑物性能模拟（BPS）模型中适当考虑不确定性至关重要。至于OB，在BPS工具中有多种方法可以模拟乘员的存在和行动。文献表明，适当的建模方法取决于模拟的目的和目的，这使得相对于其他先验方法而言，很难偏爱一种方法。。此外，几乎没有选择最合适的建模方法的支持。结果，在实践中以各种方式对OB进行建模，这主要是由直觉和习惯决定的。本研究以先前的文献为基础，以介绍和测试用于适当的OB建模的完整方法。该方法可以被概括并容易地应用于设计问题。
