| Abstract |
This study examines the role of Demand Response (DR) in encouraging occupants to reduce actual energy consumption, noting that accurate
compensation is essential for program effectiveness. While physical retrofits improve building energy efficiency, DR plays a key role in
influencing user behavior. The analysis identifies structural biases in current Customer Baseline Load methods, driven by the complexity of
residential environments, including diverse consumption patterns and household characteristics. Results show that high-consumption households
are often under-compensated, while low-consumption households tend to be over-compensated. These distortions become more pronounced as
outdoor temperatures rise. In addition, higher temperatures not only increase energy use but also intensify estimation errors, further distorting
compensation during peak heat events. These findings indicate that residential DR policy should extend beyond technical accuracy to
incorporate more equitable frameworks that reflect the socio-technical diversity of building performance and occupant behavior. |
