Patterns of daily occupations (PDO) and occupational balance (OB) are recurring
phenomena in the literature. Both are related with health and well-being, which makes them …

Distributed energy system (DES) has successfully aroused increasing interests among
energy policy makers and system designers, as its potential of replacing conventional …

Realistic time-resolved data on occupant behaviour, presence and energy use are important
inputs to various types of simulations, including performance of small-scale energy systems …

Time-use data, describing in detail the everyday life of household members as high-
resolved activity sequences, have a largely unrealized potential of contributing to domestic …

This paper identifies three main understandings of the notion of 'car dependence'in transport
research: a micro-social understanding (dependence as an attribute of individuals), a macro …

Detailed simulations of distributed generation in residential areas have prompted the need
for improved models of domestic electricity demand that are able to reproduce important …

It has been recognized that an increased penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) may
potentially alter load profile in a distribution network. Charging pattern of EVs and its …

At high latitudes, domestic electricity demand and insolation are negatively correlated on
both an annual and a diurnal basis. With increasing integration of distributed photovoltaics …

The need to analyze and understand energy consumption in relation to households' activity
patterns is vital for developing policy means that contribute to an energy efficient life and …

In this paper, a simulation model that forecasts electricity load profiles for a population of
Swedish households living in detached houses is presented. The model is constructed of …
