Abstract: Urban building energy models (UBEM) have the potential to become integral planning tools for district energy systems due to the dynamic, interactive and complex nature of temporal building energy demand patterns. Although the demand patterns are related to the occupancy profiles of buildings supplied by district energy systems, occupant behavior in current UBEM approaches does not usually consider diversity in occupancy profiles among buildings of the same use-type.
