The aim of this paper is to propose a simulation model to study residential energy consumption. The model includes the inhabitant´s activities linked to their behavior and their habits. Real data obtained from smart-meters placed in several households have been used to model the electrical consumption of the equipment. The model is able to assess the influence in residential energy consumption electricity of behavior changes and to quantify the cost of good/bad good consumption habits and its environmental consequences. We combine methods coming from statistical techniques and the engineering analysis.
