Perceptions of occupants to energy use, collected in questionnaire surveys, were used as input variable for building simulations. These perceptions are related to occupant interactions with lighting, plug loads, heating, cooling, windows opening and shading. The simulations were performed to a green-rated (GB) and a non-rated building, in Sydney Australia, with similar characteristics. The simulation models were calibrated according to measured annual energy data to incorporate the collected behaviours. Occupants' behaviours (OB) were quantified in terms of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and costs. Results show that occupants have 25% more impact on the overall energy use in the non-rated building than in the GB. In the GB occupants have a major impact in the heating function while in the non-rated building they impact the lighting system. The GB is less subjected to the direct impact of OB if the majority of its systems are automatically controlled.

通过问卷调查收集的居民对能源使用的感知被用作建筑模拟的输入变量。这些感觉与乘员与照明，插头负载，加热，冷却，窗户打开和遮光的相互作用有关。对具有类似特征的澳大利亚悉尼的绿色评级（GB）和非评级建筑物进行了仿真。根据测得的年度能源数据对仿真模型进行校准，以纳入所收集的行为。在能源使用，温室气体排放和成本方面量化了乘员的行为（OB）。结果表明，居住者对未评级建筑物的总体能源使用影响比对GB的影响大25％。在GB中，居住者对供暖功能有重大影响，而在非评级建筑物中，居住者会影响照明系统。如果GB的大多数系统是自动控制的，则它较少受OB的直接影响。
