Abstract
This paper proposes an approach to monitor buildings that will undergo a renovation process. The objective is to inform the design process regarding energy and indoor conditions requirements of different households for building simulation and energy calculations. This approach is intended to be part of a renovation strategy in the Netherlands. The results on a pilot study showed that the case studies have different occupancy patterns and comfort preferences. A comparison between the households showed that the activity level of the residents as well as the employment condition and household composition can have an effect on comfort and heating patterns.
