Based on a proposed holiday community in the Scottish borders, the project is focused on the prediction and the analysis of the energy demand according to variable occupancy. Moreover, it will cover the possibility of supplying demand with the use of renewable energy sources available on-site with consideration of diverse storage technologies. Additionally, the use of different building fabrics and their impact on space heating demand will be studied while considering the embodied energy associate.



Aim

A method for assessing the feasibility of a Zero Carbon Autonomous Holiday Community



Objectives

  • by collection and analysis of monitored data from similar holiday villages
  • by creation of multiple demand profile
  • To explore supply and storage options
