Demand drivers (population, GDP, family units, etc.) are obtained externally, via other models or from accepted other sources. Energy-service demands and respective drivers in the TIAM-UCL are presented in Table 2-1. The demands for energy services are linked to the drivers' projections via elasticities. These elasticities of demands are intended to reflect changing patterns in energy service demands in relation to socio-economic growth, such as saturation in some energy end-use demands, increased urbanization, or changes in consumption patterns once the basic needs are satisfied. The energy-service demands for future years are projected using the following relationship:

Where, k is a constant; it is one for most of the energy services demand. The constant k is population and number of households when the driver is GDPP and GDPPHOU respectively.

Driver Elasticity

Driver elasticities determine the sensitivity of changes in energy-service demand to changes in the underlying driver. An elasticity of 1 means that a change of the underlying driver is exactly reflected in the energy-service demand. Energy-service demands with an elasticity below 1 are demand inelastic, while those with an elasticity of one or higher are demand elastic. In general it is assumed that energy-service demands grow slower than the underlying driver, such as GDP, GDP per capita or number of household. This decoupling of energy demand and economic growth is expected to increase during the 21st century so that all elasticities fall. Residential space heating (RH1), for example, has an elasticity of 0.8 in 2010, which drops to 0.5 in 2100. This means that initially the energy demand for space heating increases at 80% of household number growth, the specific underlying driver, and in the 2nd half of the century at only 50% of the household number growth rate.

Non-energy demands are not explicitly considered.

Regional GDP per capita is a driver for the model, but there are no income distribution within a given region. Access issues are not considered either.

Regions can be split to additional subregions for the demand level, thus allowing to model demand separately for, for example, urban and rural areas in the Residential sector. Currently, USA and CAN have four and three geographic regions, respectively, while AFR, CHI, IND, MEA and MEX each have two ?sub-regions?, corresponding to rural and urban areas.

Behavioural change

Behaviour and heterogeneous agents and mostly not explicitly considered and is only really determined through price mechanisms e.g. there is no modal shift in the transport sector.

The exceptions from this are technology and region specific hurdle rates and price responsive energy service demands i.e. see Residential sector.

Diffusion constraints can be interpreted to simulate also behaviour related inertia (among the other barriers that are not explicitly included in the model).
