N2 - There is currently no established methodology for quantifying uncertainty in occupant-related building internal loads. In this paper, we propose that distinct spaces within a building may be assigned an operational signature comprising the daily base load, load range and diversity profile. A Functional Data Analysis (FDA) approach has been used to analyse monitored electricity consumption data for the derivation of such signatures. This approach enables simulation of the inherent stochasticity. It represents a step forward towards an ability to propagate uncertainty through a building energy simulation and to quantify the change in electricity consumption associated with a change in building operation.
