Modelling electricity consumption in office buildings: An agent based approach
Highlights ► An agent-based model of office energy consumption has been developed. ► Base on a case study, the model tests different electricity management strategies. ► The simulation results provide practical electricity management implications. ► The paper demonstrates the robustness of ABS in studying building energy consumption.
Abstract In this paper, we develop an agent-based model which integrates four important elements, i.e. organisational energy management policies/regulations, energy management technologies, electric appliances and equipment, and human behaviour, to simulate the electricity consumption in office buildings. Based on a case study, we use this model to test the effectiveness of different electricity management strategies, and solve practical office electricity consumption problems. This paper theoretically contributes to an integration of the four elements involved in the complex organisational issue of office electricity consumption, and practically contributes to an application of an agent-based approach for office building electricity consumption study.
