The literature
shows a reduction in the maximum total energy consumption in simulations;
however, it is not known how user profiles effect the maximum load of the
building, which is necessary for the optimization of solar energy integration
to the building. This study aims to investigate the effect of different user
profiles on energy needs in the same building type for different climatic
regions. TRNSYS simulations show the effect of one student or four people
family using the same apartment building. The results show a 21.26% change of
in the maximum heating load for the Mediterranean climate and a 3.49% for the
cooling load. For the continental climate, the change is 6.21% for heating and
3.25% for cooling energy maximum loads.
