Abstract

The energy efficiency of a building is largely affected by occupant behaviour. This review article deals with cases where energy efficiency is improved by reducing energy consumption depending on occupant behaviour, building characteristics and characteristics of the appliances. Here, the primary focus is Human Building Interaction (HBI) affecting the energy usage. The data related to energy consumption by citizens of different countries is collected from the literature published between 2010 to 2024 describing various approaches like survey, empirical study, field experiment, case study & energy reports. A statistical analysis of variables in different cases of HBI using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling method shows that attitude, knowledge and income are the strongest elements in determining the energy-saving behaviour when combined with intervention technique like monetary incentives.
