Elmodel-bolig

Elmodel-bolig describes the electricity consumption of households based on various appliances diffusion, effectiveness and useful life.

The model is using data on the household’s amount of power equipments. Data have been collected every other year since 1974 for approximately 2000 households, representative spread across type of housing, location, etc. The model operates with just 30 specific device types, described by their diffusion, application rate and specific power consumption and size and lifetime distributions.

From these data are made scenarios of electricity consumption valid for the Danish housings. Here the effect of assumptions for certain appliances or appliance groups can be calculated.
