During the NZEB design phase, accurate dynamic energy simulations are generally carried out, in many cases, neglecting the effect of the occupant behaviour on the energy consumptions. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of the occupant behaviour (i.e. window openings) on the seasonal energy building performance in order to demonstrate that the occupant can play a significant role, especially for NZEB. Numerical results evidence how the sensitivity of the heating energy demand and comfort conditions on the different design parameters can change dramatically if the occupant behaviour is taken into account within the dynamic energy model of the building.
