Take a look at occupancy simulator from LBNL and Tsinghua university. It uses a compact probabilistic description of occupant movement to generate sample schedules. There is a paper about the approach in the upcoming ACEEE buildings conference.

Take a look at occupancy simulator from LBNL and Tsinghua university. It uses a compact probabilistic description of occupant movement to generate sample schedules. There is a paper about the approach in the upcoming ACEEE buildings conference.

Update: in general, you may want to look at IEA Annex 66 which deals with characterization and modeling of occupants and occupant behavior. There are about 40 participating research groups from about 15 countries, including both the LBNL and Carleton groups.
