Energy Consumption Patterns in a Canadian Multi-family Building Under COVID-19 Lockdowns—A Preview of the Future?
The observed patterns in energy consumption in buildings during the COVID-19 lockdowns offers a great opportunity to see how people might behave in the future as they are expected to stay more often at home due to telework. This work analyses the energy consumption of a 40-unit social housing building located in Quebec City, Canada. The consumption of electricity and hot water before and during the pandemic is compared to see if lockdowns induced changes in energy consumption patterns. The comparisons are based on statistical tests and are applied for the whole building. Results show that there was a slight increase in overall consumption during the most stringent months of lockdown, but that the more important change was that consumption occurred throughout the day instead of being concentrated during the evening, as observed before the pandemic.
