Modeling of Adaptive Shading Adjustment Behavior in Buildings and Its Impacts on Building Energy Consumption and Indoor Lighting and Thermal Environments: A Systematic Review

As a significant manifestation of interaction between building occupants and the built environment, adaptive shading adjustment behavior exerts a substantial influence on building energy consumption and indoor lighting and thermal environments. Existing reviews either focus on generalized occupant behavior or were published relatively early, lacking a systematic and up-to-date synthesis specifically addressing adaptive shading adjustment behavior. Through a comprehensive analysis of 68 core articles retrieved from the SCOPUS database and Web of Science database, this review summarizes major research advances, including testing methods for adaptive shading adjustment behavior, analysis of its driving factors, modeling and simulation approaches, and its impacts on energy consumption and indoor lighting and thermal environments. Furthermore, this review identifies limitations in current research, such as limited sample sizes, insufficient consideration of psychosocial factors, and the need for further validation of model generalizability. Future research directions are also proposed, aiming to provide a reference for in-depth investigations into adaptive shading adjustment behavior in buildings.
