The focus of this study is residential buildings with low thermal mass, such as 30 January 2015 timber-frame houses typical to the US. Simulations were performed for homes in 12 US DOE climate Accepted 4 February 2015 zones. The results show that the effectiveness of mechanical pre-cooling is highly dependent on climate Available online 26 February 2015 zone and the selected pre-cooling strategy. The expected energy trade-off between cooling peak energy sa
