This work addresses indoor air quality management for building occupants, but it is incremental as it adapts existing Bayesian methods to a specific domain.

The paper tackled modeling human behavior in office buildings using Dynamic Bayesian Networks, applying it to simulate CO2 concentration with occupant interactions.

This paper proposes a new general approach based on Bayesian networks to model the human behaviour. This approach represents human behaviour with probabilistic cause-effect relations based on knowledge, but also with conditional probabilities coming either from knowledge or deduced from observations. This approach has been applied to the co-simulation of the CO2 concentration in an office coupled with human behaviour.
