Current energy models in buildings assume that occupants are static. Realistically, this is not true. University of Michigan Researchers have developed a method called “agent based modeling” which allows occupants to be given unique characteristics to generate more data. ----- Watch more videos from Michigan Engineering and subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/michiganengineering The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.
