Abstract

It is essential to ensure the validation of measurements and the reliability of the collected data. This chapter discusses several topics related to measurement validation and ground truth in occupancy and occupant behavior observations. It introduces the basic concept of measurement quality and calls for attention to the measurement of occupancy and occupant actions. It provides general guidelines for verifying and validating the reliability of collected data. It also offers suggestions for how to construct ground truth data. In this chapter, questions about measurement validation and ground truth are raised and the particularities of occupancy and occupant behavior observations are discussed.
