<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="h.pv8fwy4kbv6r"></a><span style="color:#1F497D">Research from a dozen case studies in commercial buildings suggests that 10-40% of energy can be saved if the occupancy presence/absence is factored into the building operation. Also,
to reduce the gap between actual building energy consumption and estimated energy consumption, occupant information is important. This study quantified the impact of occupancy rates for actual commercial building energy consumption with measured data. Also,
this study found that occupancy rates have a higher correlation with plug-load consumption than with total electricity consumption. This study shows a simplified methodology to use the plug-load consumption as an indicator for occupancy rates in building energy
models.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
