TIME DYNAMICS OF ELECTRICITY DEMAND IN AIR-DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN SWEDEN

This paper illustrates the potential for reducing future electricity d emand for air distribution in commercial buildings in Sweden. We have developed a general, quantitative, scenario-based framework to describ e electricity demand for air distribution and to analyze how governmen tal and utility-sponsored policy measures affect electricity demand. T he results suggest that higher electricity prices will not be very eff ective in reducing electricity demand, whereas significant electricity savings can be achieved by implementing desirable policy programs.
