Abstract

The energy behaviour, which influences the generation of internal heat gains in an ‘average’ Greek family home, is presented. The necessary data are obtained from 158 families of Solar Village-3 in Lykovrisi Attika. The occupants were interviewed during 1991 and filled in a form with questions concerning their presence at home, the use of domestic appliances and the performance of energy related activities. With the elaboration of data the energy contribution of the members of typical families in the house was concluded. The results are occupation patterns, use of electric appliances, and occupants activities influencing the generation of heat in residences. The results can be used for the calculation of cooling loads in residence buildings and for the simulation of occupants' behaviour in building energy models.

Reverse subsidy dilemma caused by the transformation from individual heating to central heating
2023, iScience
With the increase in household income enhancing people’s expectations for life comfort, the demand for central heating in hot summer and cold winter areas (HSCWs) has increased. This study aims to explore whether it is appropriate to promote central heating in HSCWs from the perspectives of inequality and reverse subsidies. Reverse subsidy dilemma caused by the transformation from individual heating to central heating was proposed by the analysis relying on utility theory. This paper presents data suggesting that individual heating could provide more options for different household income groups than could central heating. Furthermore, the heating inequality among different income groups is assessed, and reverse subsidies from the poor to the rich are discussed. We find that the implementation of central heating leads to few adverse effects and high utility for the rich and increased expenditures and low utility satisfaction for the poor at the same price level.
Impacts of multiple factors on energy consumption of aging residential buildings based on a system dynamics model–Taking Northwest China as an example
2021, Journal of Building Engineering
The analysis of factors affecting energy consumption is very important for saving energy and reducing consumption in residential buildings. Existing research on this matter lacks an analysis of multiple interacting factors and has not solved the problem of high energy consumption. Therefore, we first determined the multiple factors affecting energy consumption, which comprised meteorology, architecture, resident, equipment, and energy-use behavior. Next, the system dynamics theory was used to construct a system dynamics (SD) model of energy consumption in aging residential buildings, to reveal the impact of these factors on energy consumption. Based on the SD model, and data from aging residential buildings in Northwest China, and use scenario simulation to explore the best energy-saving renovation plan for such buildings. The results show that the interaction between multiple factors is the main cause of high energy consumption in aging residential buildings, which can be greatly reduced through a comprehensive renovation plan to improve the thermal insulation performance of the building envelope, and to promote the use of energy-saving appliances and energy-saving behavior. Furthermore, this study will help engineers and policymakers identify the most influential factors affecting energy consumption and to develop the best energy-saving renovation plan for aging residential buildings.
Does historical data still count? Exploring the applicability of smart building applications in the post-pandemic period
2021, Sustainable Cities and Society
The emergence of COVID-19 pandemic is causing tremendous impact on our daily lives, including the way people interact with buildings. Leveraging the advances in machine learning and other supporting digital technologies, recent attempts have been sought to establish exciting smart building applications that facilitates better facility management and higher energy efficiency. However, relying on the historical data collected prior to the pandemic, the resulting smart building applications are not necessarily effective under the current ever-changing situation due to the drifts of data distribution. This paper investigates the bidirectional interaction between human and buildings that leads to dramatic change of building performance data distributions post-pandemic, and evaluates the applicability of typical facility management and energy management applications against these changes. According to the evaluation, this paper recommends three mitigation measures to rescue the applications and embedded machine learning algorithms from the data inconsistency issue in the post-pandemic era. Among these measures, incorporating occupancy and behavioural parameters as independent variables in machine learning algorithms is highlighted. Taking a Bayesian perspective, the value of data is exploited, historical or recent, pre- and post-pandemic, under a people-focused view.
The application of quality control charts for identifying changes in time-series home energy data
2020, Energy and Buildings
Citation Excerpt :
Unsupervised methods are applied to pattern-find in unlabelled data where the time series is segmented and statistical methods applied to test differences of which examples are: likelihood ratio [44], and clustering [45]. Understanding the patterns of energy use in the home has been of interest for some decades: mapping of data onto behaviours, or characteristics [46]; and for understanding occupancy in residential buildings in [47] are examples. Change point models have been used to identify patterns of residential air conditioning use in residential buildings [19].
Energy consumption in the home is heavily influenced by the occupants and the routines they adopt. Although these routines tend to be regarded as somewhat static in nature, more recent evidence from the social sciences suggests that patterns of consumption are actually more fluid and constantly evolve to accommodate the contingencies of everyday living. This makes detecting changes in patterns of activity and their impact on energy consumption difficult, particularly when these patterns are often invisible to the householder to begin with. Being able to identify when a change occurs, therefore, could be a powerful tool to establish the context of change and so to determine more appropriate corrective action to curb waste and create opportunities for greater flexibility in consumption. The growing adoption of smart meters and home energy monitoring provide a platform for numerical approaches, yet there is little work reported in the literature and none that have attempted to evaluate effectiveness of such methods applied to detect changes in behaviour using field monitoring data from family homes. This paper reports on the application of a Change Point Detection method based on statistical quality control charts applied to identify changes in activities a family home using typical monitoring data. The approach was found to be very effective, identifying 78% of the changes that occurred over a two-year period and hence the outlook for such methods is promising. The findings suggest that such techniques could significantly improve the quality of information provided in energy feedback and so could play a significant role in the pursuit of more efficient energy use in the home by adding value to monitoring systems and services.
On the use of questionnaire in residential buildings. A review of collected data, methodologies and objectives
2019, Energy and Buildings
The paper presents a review of the literature on the use of the questionnaire as a tool for collecting energy data in residential buildings. Numerous studies used the questionnaire to gather necessary information for different purposes. However, even using the same tool, the procedures differ in terms of distribution and compilation, contact with the interviewees and type of proposed questions. One hundred thirty-seven studies were considered in the review, including both scientific articles and surveys reports. The available works were analysed and classified according to the geographical origin, period, sample size, sample structure, data collection methods, response rate, data processing, and objectives of the investigation. In the 80% of the selected studies, the questionnaire is used as unique tool for data collection, albeit cases in which the questionnaire is coupled with other survey techniques, such as field measurements and time use surveys, have also been recorded. The in-person interview is the most common completion option in the sample and it is also the method that produces the highest response rate (77.6%). Generally, the collected data are subjected to statistical processing (over 80% of the cases). Regarding the objective of the surveys, the questionnaire is mainly employed for investigations on energy consumption and occupants’ behaviour, but also other purposes were identified. Overall, the revised sample and the experiences reported are largely varied and heterogeneous. The lack of a homogeneous methodology appears in the use of an extremely diversified terminology. Therefore, the codification of a reference method and the standardisation of the nomenclature would be desirable. It would be useful to define general guidelines to be followed when designing surveys by using questionnaires. The review provides some suggestions and guidance on the use of questionnaire, highlighting strengths and weaknesses, and represents a source of information for future researches focused on the energy performance of buildings.
Understanding energy demand in Kuwaiti villas: Findings from a quantitative household survey
2018, Energy and Buildings
Residential buildings in Kuwait account for almost 60% of the country's national electrical power generated, considerably greater than all other sectors or building types. This paper identifies key drivers of energy use in Kuwaiti villas based on a survey of 250 households undertaken throughout the six districts of Kuwait. The survey consists of a cross-sectional interviewer-administered questionnaire designed to gather detailed information about building physical characteristics, occupants’ socio-demographic background and energy-use behaviours. Survey data is analysed using both statistical descriptive methods and multiple linear regression analysis to identify key determinants of energy consumption in a sample of Kuwaiti villas. Analysis indicates that an occupant driven cooling behaviour (air-conditioning thermostat temperature set points) is the major driver of energy use, followed by the number of rooms and the number of occupants. Together, such drivers significantly explain 32% of the variability in energy consumption Survey findings provide descriptive information about Kuwaiti households and insights into the key drivers of energy use to better inform further research and policy interventions in this field.
