The difference between theoretical and measured energy consumption in residential heating: Chilean case

Abstract At present, a large number of studies expose the differences between the results thrown by the classic models of energetic simulation (theoretical) and the measured data. This is strongly related to how people use energy in their households, especially when there is no automatic control ove...
