The effectiveness of various building pre-conditioning strategies, which were considered for different durations, immediacy and activation time were assessed using the simulation model. Assessment was carried out for a representative summer day and the contribution of the building capacitance as a mechanism for shifting the building electric power demand was evaluated, recording a maximum load reduction of 6.6% of the baseload.enFlexible energy demandDemand responseBuilding simulation modelUCD Sport and FitnessConference Publication2016-09-29https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
