5 Conclusions

As building standards improve, so will the relative impact of occupants on
resource use increase. Thus, it seems inevitable that better models of occupation
presence and interaction are necessary. The set of models here discussed is a
contribution to predict the impact of occupants' behaviour on a building in terms
