\begin{abstract}
Availability of load profile data is essential for studying and
assessing different demand side management programs especially in
residential loads. To build residential load curve a lot of data are
required such as habitant's daily activities, sort of appliances he owns
and their hourly profile. Depending on availability of data, a different
methods were introduced to construct load curve. There are three
approaches for building load curve; top-down approach, bottom-up
approach and hybrid approach. In this paper, steps on how to use each
approach to build load curve are briefly reviewed. Bottom-up approach is
the most common method used for load profile estimation. However due to
lack of availability of required data, different software is introduced
depending on type of load used; commercial or residential with built in
data necessary for load profile conduction in short time. Building
Energy Optimization (BEopt) software is used to give hourly consumption
curve in residential sector. BEopt software is expounded as a full
packaged software that can be used by customer or researcher to
understand load curve for each residential unit and for the whole
building. And to study the effect of both appliances and home texture on
energy consumption result as well.%
