Abstract
The integration of low carbon energy systems with zero carbon housing and communities requires a detailed understanding of the scale and timing of energy demand. Household demand is closely related to occupant type and associated occupancy patterns. A high resolution occupancy modelling technique is proposed as a foundation for future demand modelling. Probability data is compiled for multiple occupant, household, and day types from Time-Use Survey data. A higher order Markov approach is then used to generate representative occupancy profiles over extended time periods. An improved method to model family interactions has also been developed.
