Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to provide an up-to-date extant review of building overheating risks, occupant thermal comfort, occupant behaviour on energy use and modelling and the current methods of energy-modelling simulation studies to respond to the research questions. The methodology involves a detailed literature review to provide an overview of existing studies of building-fabric thermal performance and a thorough selection and study of review articles, original research papers and conference proceedings to investigate the benefits and challenges of assessing building overheating risks and occupant thermal comfort.
