CREST Demand Model v2.0 Eoghan McKenna & Murray Thomson
The CREST Demand Model v2.0, developed by Eoghan McKenna & Murray Thomson at Loughborough University, is a comprehensive simulation tool that analyzes the energy demand of dwellings. It considers factors such as solar thermal collectors, climate data, irradiance, electrical demand, temperature, gas demand, occupancy, hot water demand, and activity profiles. The model provides outputs related to electrical power, temperature, appliances, lighting, heating, solar energy utilization, and more.
