People behaviours have an undeniable influence both on building performance and on indoor environmental quality. To predict their actions and obtain accurate predictions, it is of primary importance the understanding of their decision-making process. This chapter offers an overview of the main factors that stimulate users’ behaviours. It firstly proposes an analysis regarding objective aspects (i.e., environmental variables, time-related events and contextual factors), aiming at underlying the triggers for each adaptive action. Then, it focuses on subjective aspects (i.e., physiological, psychological and social factors), in particular, highlighting how people’s attitudes change in the nZEB contexts.
