Agent-Based Analysis of Annual Energy Usages for Domestic Heating based on a Heat Pump

摘要

This paper describes an agent-based analysis approach to determine in which way a net zero house can be obtained. In particular, it addresses agent-based simulation to estimate annual energy usage for heating based on an air to water heat pump. Based on the introduced approach house owners will be able to decide on the specifications for further renewable energy production systems to be installed, for example, solar or wind energy production systems in order to obtain a net zero house in the present and in future years.
