VenTSol – Evaluation of user behaviour with regard to ventilation, shading and room temperature depending on the outdoor climate

In the VenTSol project, the behaviour of residents with regard to window ventilation, shading and room temperature will be investigated by detailed monitoring of five apartment buildings. This study should help to create detailed user profiles, which can be used for simulations and energy calculations. User behaviour is compared to the prevailing external climate, internal climate and energy consumption. The project should contribute to a better understanding of the so-called «UserGap».
