Abstract:

In Austria, user behavior is considered as a set of static values in the energy certificate calculations. As part of the research of Annex 53, "Total Energy Use in Buildings", the static user profile is challenged as an accurate representation of user behavior. A consistent approach has been formulated to derive average values for the energy performance calculations for residential buildings along with probability distributions for energy demand for different qualities of building envelopes.
