This publication is about the research project regarding the consumer‐behavior in terms of heating energy. Due to the fact that the levels of energy use in buildings which include solar technologies vary strongly, it is necessary to study and evaluate the behavior of the consumers, in order to be able to determine the actual demand of energy used for heating. Because of the presence of solar technologies in these homes, the consumer‐behavior is the most determinative factor when calculating the demand of heating energy. The aim of this research project is to determine the effect consumer behavior has on the demand for heating energy.
This scientific research project consists of five stages, which are as follows;
- Dynamic simulation of the building
- Dynamic simulation of the apartments intended for measurements
- Evaluation and presentation of the theoretical results in the form of a user‐guidebook for the
residents - Measurements in the apartments and of the outside preconditions
- Interpretation and analysis of the measurements and validation of the simulations
The evaluations and interpretations will be presented to the residents in the form of a users‐guidebook.
