Occupant behaviour (OB) is impacted by several interdisciplinary factors: environmental, psychosocial, cultural and economic. One of these impacting factors is the climate. In this study, the patterns of OB interactions with heating, cooling, lighting, equipment, windows and shading collected in questionnaire surveys were used as input data in the simulation models of two university buildings. The buildings, a green-rated and a non-rated one, are in Western Sydney University in Sydney, Australia. Then, the models were simulated in eight different climate zones in Australia. Therefore, this research aimed to understand how different climate zones may impact the energy related to OB and compare this impact between a green-rated building and a building without any rating. The results showed that there is no correlation between climate and OB and the levels of discomfort are related to the cooling season. The green building is less subjected to external changes, indicating that in buildings with automatic and properly controlled centralised management systems, the impacts related to the misuse of energy due to OB would be almost irrelevant. The results of this study should not be extended to other occupant behavioural patterns or situations. The results should be confined within the present research and context.

澳大利亚的居住者行为及其与气候的关系

乘员行为 (OB) 受多个跨学科因素的影响：环境、社会心理、文化和经济。这些影响因素之一是气候。在本研究中，问卷调查中收集的 OB 与供暖、制冷、照明、设备、窗户和遮阳的相互作用模式被用作两所大学建筑模拟模型的输入数据。这些建筑分为绿色评级和非评级建筑，位于澳大利亚悉尼的西悉尼大学。然后，这些模型在澳大利亚的八个不同气候区进行了模拟。因此，本研究旨在了解不同气候区如何影响与 OB 相关的能源，并比较绿色评级建筑和没有任何评级的建筑之间的这种影响。结果表明，气候与 OB 之间没有相关性，不适的程度与降温季节有关。绿色建筑受外部变化的影响较小，表明在具有自动化和适当控制的集中管理系统的建筑中，与 OB 引起的能源滥用相关的影响几乎无关紧要。本研究的结果不应扩展到其他乘员行为模式或情况。结果应限于当前的研究和背景。本研究的结果不应扩展到其他乘员行为模式或情况。结果应限于目前的研究和背景。本研究的结果不应扩展到其他乘员行为模式或情况。结果应限于当前的研究和背景。
