Occupancy patterns in building performance simulation are typically represented via fixed diversity profiles. More recently,
stochastic models have been developed to generate random non-repeating occupancy profiles. In this context, an important
question concerns the implications of occupancy modelling approaches for simulation results. The present contribution involves a
virtual office building for which annual and peak heating and cooling demands are simulated. Thereby, both conventional and
random profiles are deployed and different levels of occupants´ interaction with building systems are modelled. For the specific
case considered here, the results do not show a noticeable difference between conventional and stochastic occupancy models.
