The domestic building sector accounts for 13% of the total UK greenhouse gas emissions. In order to curtail the emissions, implementation of higher insulation materials in building envelopes and integrated low carbon technologies within buildings becomes an alternative solution. Space heating energy demand in different types of domestic dwellings was modelled. Based on the occupancy pattern, the appliance and lighting schedule were obtained for calculating electrical demand. Two new build homes in Corby representing current and future dwellings were investigated to compare the difference of energy demand.
