Call

Socio-economic research conceptualising and modelling energy efficiency and energy demand

Description of call
"Socio-economic research conceptualising and modelling energy efficiency and energy demand"

The aim of the action is to deepen the demand side-related parameters in existing models and to include new aspects and data sources. In general, it is to be expected that the introduction of smart meters and smart equipment will lead to more accurate consumption data providing for a more holistic mapping of the demand side and thus for better projections inside energy policy development and a more effective regulatory framework. The action should complement the existing demand side energy models by developing multiple-agent energy models and/or modelling segments and/or developing methodologies on how to improve and enhance the demand side aspects in modelling.
