Increasing Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings: System Dynamics Approach

Iran is considered as one of the most energy-consuming countries in the world, and because of the abundant resources in Iran, energy is so cheap. In this study, by focusing on the residential sector as the most consumable sector, and electricity as the most consumable energy in this sector, it has been tried to investigate, and simulate related approved methods in the world, and the results of ...

Smart Meter Data Analytics for Enhanced Energy Efficiency in the Residential Sector

Achievement of the ambitious environmental sustainability targets requires improvement of energy efficiency practices in private households. We demonstrate how utility companies, having access to smart electricity meter data, can automatically extract household characteristics related to energy efficiency and adoption of renewable energy technologies (e.g., water/space heating type, age of hous...

Supervised classification with interdependent variables to support targeted energy efficiency measures in the residential sector

Background Reducing energy consumption is the best sustainable long-term answer to the challenges associated with increasing demand for energy, fluctuating oil prices, uncertain energy supplies, and fears of global warming (European commission 2008; Wenig et al. 2015). Since the household sector represents around 30 % of the final global energy consumption (International Energy Agency 2014), cu...
