- Summary:
- In recent years, the residential and transportation sectors havemade significant strides in reducing energy consumption, mainly byfocusing efforts on low-hanging fruit in each sector independently.This independent viewpoint has been successful in the past becausethe user needs met and resources consumed in each sector have beenclearly distinct. However, the trend towards vehicleelectrification has blurred the boundary between the sectors. Withboth the home and vehicle now relying upon the same energy source,interactions between the systems can no longer be neglected. Forexample, when tiered utility pricing schemes are considered, theenergy consumption of each system affects the cost of theother.In this paper, the authors present an integrated Home-VehicleSimulation Model (HVSM), allowing the designer to take a holisticview. Amongst other possibilities, this model allows a designer toevaluate the economic and environmental impacts of multipleretrofit alternatives, whether they concern modifications to thehome and its appliances, the vehicle, or any combination. A casestudy is presented which investigates the economic andenvironmental benefits which could be obtained from a set ofpotential retrofit actions. These actions reflect the integratednature of the system and include: adding Photo-Voltaic panels,introducing an electric vehicle, and updating home appliances withintelligent control strategies. Through the consideration of bothsystems jointly, it is shown that significant reductions in totalenergy consumption, total utility cost, and total CO₂ emissions canbe realized
