Abstract
The findings illustrate how perceptions of comfort can be improved by increasing the degree of environmental control occupants have without necessarily increasing energy consumption. The paper highlights the significance of occupancy patterns to a complete understanding of energy efficiency and comfort, and speculates that the prediction and assessment of energy per occupant may have an important future role to play in bridging the gap between energy performance and comfort.
