We present the results of a recent empirically-based study of occupant-driven window operation. Thereby, a number of hypothesised causal factors contributing to the window operation behavior are tested. Subject of study is an office area within an educational institution. Monitored indoor and outdoor environmental conditions together with monitored window opening and closing actions provide the baseline for the empirical exploration of the suspected causal factors and their potential toward formulation of dependable behavioral models.
