    Due to an increasing integration of renewable energy into energy systems, new flexibility measures are needed to ensure the balance between energy supply and demand. Demand-side management measures, such as demand response (DR) can be used to increase system flexibility. Traditionally, only large industrial consumers have participated in DR. Recently, increased attention has been given to the idea of extending the DR measures to consumers in residential and service sectors. In order to estimate the amount of flexibility available in residential and service buildings, accurate information about their energy consumption and qualitative features is required. In response to this need, this thesis aims to identify the electrical and thermal loads of residential and service buildings that are best suited for DR. To accomplish this, this thesis will conduct a comprehensive literature review on the energy consumption of both residential and service buildings. Based on the findings of the literature review, a qualitative analysis of the building loads will be carried out. The following factors will be considered in the analysis: energy consumption, timing of consumption relative to peak demand periods, consumer inconvenience and the suitability for an existing DR program.
