Abstract: This paper presents an application of an activity-based residential building energy demand model to model energy demand at the postcode district level in Japan. The model distinguishes between two analytical levels. At the household level, the energy demand of households is simulated in a bottom-up manner based on an activity profile generated by a person-based stochastic occupant behaviour model. Simulated households are generated randomly based on a population census for each postcode district to reflect the household and housing compositions. The modelling for postcode districts can be applied to any district in Japan. A case study indicated that the developed model could predict the energy demand with a high spatiotemporal resolution.
