EARLY RESULTS FROM COMMERCIAL ELCAP BUILDINGS: SCHEDULES AS A PRIMARY DETERMINANT OF LOAD SHAPES IN THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR.

Author(s) : REITER P. D.

Summary

THE PAPER EXAMINES THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULING IN THE DETERMINATION OF TOTAL ENERGY USE AND THE TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF END-USE CONSUMPTION. FOUR ARCHETYPES OF DIURNAL AND SEASONAL END-USE LOAD SHAPES ARE PROPOSED. THE CONCEPTS OF SCHEDULE AND TEMPERATURE-DETERMINED END-USE LOADS ARE THEN EMPIRICALLY EXAMINED USING TWO BUILDINGS FROM THE ELCAP (END-USE LOAD AND CONSERVATION ASSESSMENT PROGRAM) METERING PROJECT. HOURLY END-USES ARE EXAMINED AND COMPARED TO THE ARCHETYPES. THE PRIMARY CONCLUSIONS ARE THAT SCHEDULES APPEAR TO PLAY A DOMINANT ROLE IN DETERMINING THE DIURNAL AND SEASONAL SHAPE OF LOADS FOR THE COMMERCIAL SECTOR AS A WHOLE.
