Climate-KIC 3 BOCS
BOCS challenges • Identification of practices occupants engage in for assessing energy-related
occupancy • Assessment of potential for energy reduction and comfort improvement through
occupant behavior change • Providing real-time feedback and cumulative yearly assessment

System for subjective and objective measurement of energy occupancy in buildings and providing feedback
Background
Climate-KIC 5 BOCS
Background
BOCS approach • Leverage of self-reporting by occupants • Use of sensors for confirmation of self-reporting • Development and evaluation of solutions stimulating lasting engagement of occupants • Adaptation of the system to a variety of building types and work cultures
Climate-KIC 6 BOCS
Step 1 – one week monitoring and observation in the studied office to identify energy-use and comfort influencing practices
BOCS pilot study iteration

BOCS pilot study iteration
Step 2 – 1.5 hour co-creation session with office occupants to reflect on their practices and co-design a customized BOCS solution
• Setup • Benefit occupants • Prototype ideas

Climate-KIC 8 BOCS
Step 3 –following weeks design and development of a customized system

Climate-KIC 9 BOCS
Step 4 – testing of the customized systems in the selected offices, comparing to the control group measurements Step 5 – evaluation and option to keep using the system until next iteration

Practical results Quantitative objective data • Out of range • Days of week
• Differences in controls / building
• Differences between floors
Combination with quantitative subjective data!

Critical reflection Living Labs • Zoom in quickly and efficient • Many different aspects
- Occupants, companies, Climate KIC • Time consuming • No large numbers of participants, upscaling • Very specific information, later on generalize in subthemes for certification • Takes time to prototype and test within context without involving user yet
BOCS
Climate-KIC 18
Critical reflection
• Relation between researcher and occupants
• Availability occupants and time investment & motivation
• Privacy
