2024 Yes A critical review on occupant behaviour modelling for building performance simulation of naturally ventilated school buildings and potential changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2022.111831 Franceschini, Paula Brumer Multiple Countries Review Modeling Students Teachers Elementary (K-5) Middle/Jr High (6-8) High School (9-12) Ventilation rates Carbon Dioxide (CO2) occupant behaviour behaviour model Building performance simulation School buildings Natural ventilation COVID-19 This critical review analyzes methods used to model occupant behavior in naturally ventilated schools. It highlights gaps in simulation assumptions and how COVID-19 may shift window use patterns, underscoring the need to refine models for realistic post-pandemic airflow scenarios. 2022
