Occupants presence and movement, interactions with the building, comfort-driven adaptations and cultural practices determine energy consumption ( [[#Hong--2017|Hong et al. 2017]] ; [[#Yan--2017|Yan et al. 2017]] ; D’Oca et al. 2018; [[#Khosla--2019|Khosla et al. 2019]] ; Li et al. 2019; [[#O’Brien--2020|O’Brien et al. 2020]] ). Households consume more on weekends and public holidays, and households with employed occupants consume less than self-employed occupants, probably because some of the latter jobs are in-house ( [[#Harold--2015|Harold et al. 2015]] ; [[#Hidalgo--2018|Hidalgo et al. 2018]] ). Understanding and accurate modelling of occupant behaviour is crucial to reduce the gap between design and energy performance ( [[#Gunay--2013|Gunay et al. 2013]] ; [[#Yan--2017|Yan et al. 2017]] ), especially for more efficient buildings, which rely on passive design features, human-centred technologies, and occupant engagement ( [[#Grove-Smith--2018|Grove-Smith et al. 2018]] ; [[#Pitts--2017|Pitts 2017]] ).
