4. Preliminary proposed methods

For the first feasibility study we will model whether energy consumption predicts whether an accommodation is a primary home or second home, thereby taking into account the degree days (temperature) and holiday periods.

Predicted variable: second home

Explanatory variables: energy use, holiday period, temperature

For the second feasibility study we will model whether energy consumption predicts occupation in known tourist accommodations, thereby taking into account the degree days (temperature) and type of accommodation (hotel, bungalow park, camp site, group accommodation).

Predicted variable: occupation

Explanatory variables: energy use, accommodation type, temperature

The models are a rough indication and will be subject to change in the respective feasibility studies.
