Text

Activities Performed: Developed end use load shapes of commercial and residential buildings in California for use in forecasting. Advanced statistical models were used on aggregated meter data from throughout the state to develop schedules to input into EnergyPlus. This simulation software was used to calculate interactive effects and to simulate changes in load shapes given various energy saving retrofits. Thousands of simulations were run, using R to run the DOE2 engine from the command line to execute the parametric runs. The combination of simulations which best fit the billing data is used to develop the load shape. Custom software reconstitutes the model coefficients into load shapes for the CEC.
