Abstract

To achieve sustainability, energy conservation in buildings is imperative. In this context, occupant window behaviour in buildings has garnered extensive attention. Many existing studies have indicated its pronounced impact on buildings’ energy consumption and explored potential drivers, focusing mainly on rooms with simple occupancy, such as single or dual offices. Open-plan offices, however, have more people sharing the same environment so social factors may have potential impact on their window operation. This study, therefore, was carried out based on semi-structured interviews, with 30 participants. It aims to provide a novel perspective on the potential social factors that may affect occupants’ window behaviour.
