Buildings energy efficiency is highly dependent on occupants’ energy and environmental lifestyle. In this view, this work aims at identifying the potential benefits of human-based energy retrofit strategies, namely human behaviour triggering actions and associated energy awareness, through large-scale surveys and calibrated building dynamic simulation. In detail, a questionnaire is submitted to office occupants to understand workers’ energy behaviours, indoor environmental perception, and identify tailored triggering actions. Therefore, different occupant behaviour scenarios involving energy wasteful and efficient human-building interactions are modelled when implemented in a case study office building in Italy. Findings show that the elimination of energy wasteful behaviours may involve building energy need reduction up to 17%. Furthermore, triggers aimed at driving energy efficient human control of HVAC setting and natural ventilation provide further annual performance improvement. Therefore, motivating occupants to change behaviour is a challenge to reduce energy consumption while improving indoor environmental conditions and cost-energy benefits.

建筑物的能源效率高度依赖于居住者的能源和环境生活方式。因此，这项工作旨在确定基于人的能源改造的潜在好处策略，即通过大规模调查和经过校准的建筑物动态模拟，来触发人类行为，并采取相关的能源意识。详细地，将问卷调查表提交给办公人员，以了解工人的能源行为，室内环境感知并确定量身定制的触发措施。因此，当在意大利的案例研究办公楼中实施时，将对涉及能源浪费和有效的人与建筑互动的不同乘员行为情景进行建模。研究结果表明，消除能源浪费行为可能涉及减少高达17％的建筑能源需求。此外，旨在推动人类对HVAC设置和自然通风进行节能控制的触发器可进一步提高年度性能。因此，
