Abstract

Obtaining high-resolution occupancy data is crucial for applications related to occupant behavior and occupant behavior modeling to achieve a significant reduction of unnecessary building energy consumption. Various types of occupancy sensing technologies have been proposed to enhance the occupancy data resolution. However, most of these technologies are rarely integrated with building information to monitor the interaction between occupants and building systems. In this paper, we present a framework for occupant behavior monitoring systems that aims to understand the dynamic interaction between indoor environment, occupant behavior, and building systems by integrating BIM, IoT sensors, and Building Automation System (BAS). As a preliminary study, we have developed a prototype and conducted a pilot test to demonstrate the feasibility of combining IoT sensor data with BAS data based on a BIM model for real-time monitoring of occupant behaviors. This result can be a basis to develop a data acquisition system to provide detailed occupant behavior information for data-driven occupant behavior modeling.
