The Role of Occupants in Buildings' Energy Performance Gap: Myth or Reality?

Ardeshir Mahdavi et al.

Summary: The expected energy use of buildings often differs from actual observations, a phenomenon known as the energy performance gap. While various factors can contribute to this gap, there is ongoing debate about the extent to which occupants play a significant role. Current evidence does not sufficiently support the claim that occupants are the main cause of the energy performance gap.

When energy efficiency goes out the window: How highly insulated buildings contribute to energy-intensive ventilation practices in Germany

Amelie Bauer et al.

Summary: National and international climate goals aiming to reduce resource consumption in the building sector often fail to achieve predicted heating-energy savings due to a mismatch between household practices and building properties. While households have diverse temperature needs, energy-efficient buildings provide homogenous temperatures, leading to households opening windows frequently to meet their thermal comfort needs. Incorporating more realistic assumptions about household practices in energy-efficient building regulations could potentially reduce the Energy Performance Gap.
