Abstract

This paper presents a multi-agent model and simulator for the investigation of inhabitants’ behaviour in relation with energy consumption in a household, at a fine-grain level. We present the meta-model that allows non-computer specialists to define the household activities, and the SMACH simulator that helps specialists analyse behaviour and manage and control energy consumption. We illustrate on concrete example scenarios how the system’s adaptation mechanisms allow us to outline behavioural patterns.
