Multi agent simulation of occupants' presence and behaviour

Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: To better understand how we can improve urban sustainability we need to focus our predictive efforts at the grassroots level of individual inhabitants. To this end we propose a multi agent simulation platform. In describing each element of this platform we review research advances in modelling occupants ’ presence, activities, behaviours, comfort and investments; suggesting also where further research is required. Our motive here is not to be prescriptive, but simply to start a debate and the process of achieving consensus so that research and development efforts are targeted in a common direction.
