Abstract

This paper describes the framework for a stochastic model of collective resident activity patterns and consequent energy use. The model is calibrated with a large set of time-use data and produces a probability density distribution of activities with consequent energy use. The complete evaluation of this concept along with the potential prospect of including the complex components involved in interacting individuals is left for future studies.
