Development of improved models for the accurate pre-diction of energy consumption in dwellings

This report presents the results of the second part of the Monicair project1, which aim was to explore in how far the better determination of a number of parameters, which up to now were measured on-ly seldom, could support the development of better prediction models for the heating energy con-sumption in dwellings. Energy labelling calculations...

Analysis of comfort related behavior for better prediction of heating and electricity consumption in residential dwellings

Occupant behaviour related to energy use in the residential sector: results from the Ecommon monitoring campaign

Buildings in Europe are the largest end use sector and especially residential buildings account for two thirds of this energy use. Despite the fact that building characteristics play a major role in a dwelling’s energy consumption, occupant characteristics and behaviour significantly affect this energy use as well. The Ecommon campaign monitored...
