Abstract
The thesis touches on problems in the field of energy economics, with a special emphasis on load economizing. In order to provide background for a critical discussion about present practices of dimensioning of heating systems in dwellings, the relationship between outdoor temperature and heat load is studied. The varaibles `outdoor temperature` and `heat load` are discussed and defined for this purpose. A broad study of the literature is presented. The analysis covers five sub-investigations based upon the measurement data from two Swedish projects (dwellings with direct resistive electric heating systems in Bua, Vaestergaars and Tahe). The studies have shown that no simple linear relationship between 1-hour values for the outdoor temperature and the heat load can be confirmed for the analysed dwellings. The influence of the outdoor temperature on the heat load seems to be strongest in untenanted houses, to decrease in occupied houses and to be totally reduced in occupied houses with an efficient heating control. No simple linear relationship between peak-loads and low outdoor temperatures has been confirmed for the investigated dwellings. The peak loads can occur at any time, even at relatively high outdoor temperatures. The installed heat loads in dwellings in Bua Vaestergaard and Tahe seem
