"On the Evaluation of Behavioural Models of Buildings' Inhabitants";

Abstract. This paper addresses the model validation challenges relevant to representation of inhabitants' presence and behavior in buildings. Motivated by the lack of general guidelines for the
evaluation of user-related behavioural models in building performance simulation, the paper underlines the need for rigorous processes toward quality assurance while integrating behavioural
representations in building performance simulation applications and processes.
