The aim of this paper is to advance the understanding of social-psychological and architectural parameters influencing occupant behaviour and resulting operational energy consumption in office settings. Existing knowledge on occupant behavior is reviewed from an architectural and social-psychological perspective. The identified parameters are visually mapped using the framework of Integral Sustainable Design (ISD). Conclusions are drawn concerning the interrelationship and interaction of parameters and the direction of future interdisciplinary research.
