Multi-objective optimization design for ultra-low-energy college dormitory buildings based on the actual occupant behavior

Key Points

• Energy-efficient designs significantly reduce energy consumption in college dormitories, with potential multiple benefits.
• Findings indicate that optimizing based on occupant behavior can decrease energy use by 20-30%.
• Multi-objective optimization techniques were applied to analyze real user behaviors and energy patterns.
• Improved design recommendations highlight the need for adjustments based on actual occupant interactions with buildings.
