User Behavior Modeling for Estimating Residential Energy Consumption

چکیده
Residential energy constitutes a significant portion of the total US energy consumption. Several researchers proposed energy-aware solutions for houses, promising significant energy and cost savings. However, it is important to evaluate the outcomes of these methods on larger scale, with hundreds of houses. This paper presents a human-activity based residential energy modeling framework, that can create power demand profiles considering the characteristics of household members. It constructs a mathematical model to show the detailed relationships between human activities and house power consumption. It can be used to create various house profiles with different energy demand characteristics in a reproducible manner. Comparison with real data shows that our model captures the power demand differences between different family types and accurately follows the trends seen in real data. We also show a case study that evaluates voltage deviation in a neighborhood, which requires accurate estimation of the trends in power consumption.

متن کاملEstimating the Direct Rebound Effect of Natural Gas Consumption in the Iranian Residential Sector with the Asymmetry of Gas Price Changes
Considering that the improvement of energy efficiency and the resulting rebound effect in the literature of energy economics is very important, hence the present paper uses the ARDL approach to estimate the direct rebound effect of the natural gas consumption in the residential sector in Iran. For this purpose, data from the period of 1986-2016 and the methodology based on the estimation of nat...
متن کاملAssessment of Occupant's Behavior on Energy Consumption: Case of Shahid Pakdel Residential Complex in Esfahan
The main share of energy consumption in the country and more than a third of its loss is in residential use. Per capita, household electricity consumption is far from the world standard, and the existence of subsidies for energy carriers in Iran, and consequently their low prices, causes occupants to pay less attention to energy consumption. Due to the policy of eliminating subsidies, the effec...

متن کاملEnergy life cycle analysis of a residential building with the help of BIM in different climates of Iran
With energy resource scarcity and energy crisis in the world, energy efficiency has become a subject of great importance. In warm and humid climates as well as cold and mountainous ones, annual energy consumption is too high to achieve desirable living conditions in built environments, and hence energy efficiency measures and practices in such buildings is of utmost priority. Given the direct r...
