Call for Abstracts

Following the tradition of IEA Annex 79, we invite you to submit and present an original research for OB-22 Symposium. The abstract should be no more than 300-words. All submissions will be reviewed, evaluated and selected by the scientific committee. Only oral presentations will occur, not papers.

Topics to be welcomed for the symposium include (but are not limited to):

• Developing new scientific knowledge about adaptive occupant actions driven by multiple interdependent indoor environmental parameters,
• Understanding interactions between occupants and building systems, e.g. how interfaces en-/discourage occupants taking advantage of adaptive opportunities for improving their comfort situation, as well as the impact on building energy use,
• Deploying 'big data' (e.g. data mining and machine learning) for the building sector based on various sources of building and occupant data as well as sensing technologies,
• Developing methods and guidelines and preparing standards for integrating occupant models in building design and operation, and
• Performing focused case studies to test the new methods and models in different design and operation phases in order to obtain valuable feedback for the researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.

Important Dates

Abstracts Deadline: 15 August, 2022
Acceptance Notification: 22 August, 2022

Non-presenters are also encouraged to participate in the symposium.
