With global trends in electrification, communities highly dependent on electricity face increasing challenges, especially with the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. These events surge electricity demand and cause widespread blackouts, affecting communities unevenly across different regions and times. This reality raises an urgent need to comprehensively assess residential energy vulnerabilities to ensure energy security for households. This presentation proposes a novel approach to building energy vulnerability analysis with a human-centered perspective. By integrating data on occupancy demographics, mobility patterns, and characteristics of the built environment, the work will provide a comprehensive profile of residential energy vulnerability which not only acknowledges the environmental aspects but also emphasizes the socio-economic dimensions of energy usage, thereby ensuring more targeted, equitable, and effective building decarbonization and electrification strategies.
