This report discusses how to use an agent-based end-use modelling approach to evaluate energy efficiency and smart-grid programs to avoid many of the problems of other modelling methods. Data for a representative sample of utility customers in a Midwestern U.S. utility are used to evaluate energy efficiency and smart grid program targets over a fifteen-year horizon.
