“…On the other hand, physical characteristics (e.g. thermal response of building, building materials) of the dwelling have been identified as a factor indirectly contributing to residential peak demand (Date, Athienitis, & Fournier, 2015;Lee & Medina, 2016;Turner, Walker, & Roux, 2015). However, the relationships between many other residential electrical energy consuming factors and residential peak demand have still not been explored in the literature.…”

At least one-third of the total electricity generation of a country is consumed by the residential sector, which is one of the most unpredictable consumer groups with respect to electricity usage and thus risks network security by producing peaks in demand. Consequently, a growing body of literature has paid particular attention to this sector and explored the household factors responsible for residential electricity consumption. However, comprehensive studies that explicitly considered all these factors in relation to peaks in demand have rarely been undertaken. A comprehensive review of the factors that contribute to residential electricity consumption has thus been conducted. Possible links between these factors and peaks in demand are investigated. As part of this review, in-house energy-use dynamics are presented, and a framework for future studies is introduced. The results of this review would serve as a useful reference to engage in new research dealing with residential factors and peaks in electrical demand.

“…Sánchez-García et al [31] found that the adaptive approach in Mediterranean cities can guarantee reductions in cooling consumption (around 50-60%) in contrast with discrete savings for heating (around 20%). Considering the temperature set point strategies, Date et al [32] obtained peak demand reductions of up to 10% and 25% when the conventional night time setback temperature profile was respectively changed with a one hour or two hours ramp with baseboards. For the 'hot summer-cold winter' climatic region of China, Wang et al [33] hypothesized a heating temperature set point of 17-18 • C based on a lumped-parameter four-node steady-state model.…”

The need to increase the level of quality of indoor environments requires an extremely accurate definition of the microclimatic requisites to guarantee, in the spaces where people live and work, global and local conditions of comfort, considering, at the same time, the aspects related to energy savings and environmental sustainability. In this framework, the paper proposes a comparison of indoor parameters for three different types of heating emitters: fan-coils, baseboards heaters, and radiant floor systems. The comparison is based on seasonal monitoring performed in a test-room located in a Mediterranean climate; it can simulate an insulated room with office usage. The proposed indices demonstrate that the floor radiant system is characterized by lower horizontal and vertical differences in air temperature distribution that can guarantee more comfortable conditions and lower heat losses. The operative temperature is often higher than the neutral point; thus, management with a lower set-point temperature should be experimented with in further studies. More generally, the introduced method could help designers to choose the proper system and management strategy with the dual purpose to select a comfortable but energy savings-oriented operating temperature.

Demand for flexibility in electricity systems and the transition to the Smart Grid is increasing opportunities for demand response (DR). However, there are many barriers which prevent the full potential of DR being realised. Unlocking of this potential, through identification of DR enablers, can be aided through systematic classification and analysis of DR barriers. To this end, while previous works mostly focused on individual aspects, this paper develops a comprehensive 'socio-techno-economic' review, classification and analysis of DR barriers and enablers in a Smart Grid context. This provides an intellectual framework which may be used to underpin further work on the study and integration of DR. DR barriers are classified as either fundamental (i.e., relating to intrinsic human nature/essential enabling technology) or secondary (i.e., relating to anthropogenic institutions/or system feedbacks). Fundamental barriers are defined as economic, social or technological, whilst secondary barriers relate to political regulatory aspects, design of markets, physical (electrical network) issues, or to general understanding of DR. Subsequently, associated enablers for the defined barriers are suggested. Consideration of technical and commercial/social aspects for both power system and information and communication technology (the "internet of things") domains provides a foundational contribution to improve understanding of DR within the Smart Grid paradigm. Finally, the complexity resulting from connections between various barriers, enablers and the energy system generally, and the existence of the signature characteristics of complex systems is acknowledged and implications discussed.
