The energy use increases rapidly due to growth in population, urbanization, and economic growth. Residential electricity consumption has an important place in the rapidly growing electricity consumption in India. Most of the studies that are carried out for energy planning in India, use macrolevel data for the estimation of price and income elasticities of electricity demand. The present study ...

the purpose of this research is to found the impact of built area and occupant number on winter gas consumption in the residential building sector of iran, shiraz.sothe annually and monthly gas consumption data through 19 houses were analyzed to achieve the heating energy consumption and operation month.the average operation months of gas heating consumption were from first of november up to en...

Residential buildings are a key driver of energy consumption and also impact transportation and land-use. Energy consumption in the residential sector accounts for one-fifth of total U.S. energy consumption and energy-related CO2 emissions, with floor space a major driver of building energy demands. In this work a consistent, vintage-disaggregated, annual long-term series of U.S. housing stock ...

This paper aims to investigate the energy saving and carbon reduction performance of cross-laminated timber residential buildings in the severe cold region of China through a computational simulation approach. The authors selected Harbin as the simulation environment, designed reference residential buildings with different storeys which were constructed using reinforced concrete (RC) and cross-...

Supplying peak energy demand in a cost effective, reliable manner is a critical focus for utilities internationally. Successfully addressing peak energy concerns requires understanding of all the factors that affect electricity demand especially at peak times. This paper is based on past attempts of proposing models designed to aid our understanding of the influences on residential peak energy ...

The basic developing objects of modern society are low carbon and energy saving. We must change the traditional high energy consuming building ways into modern novel energy saving buildings. In this paper, the development of modern building energy saving technology was reviewed and concluded. On this basis, designing ways and methods for energy saving system was proposed from the points of wall...

This paper presents electricity utilization and saving potential assessment for residential lighting demand side management program. The assessment involves combined Baseline Energy Use method and Analytic Hierarchy Process which represent technical and customer preference approaches, respectively. Residential lighting load curve and lamps’ share of ownership are estimated based on the first me...

United States (US) is currently responsible for about 20% of global carbon emissions. The residential sector is responsible for a little over 20% of this emission. From this perspective, US households account for about 4% of global carbon emissions. Such sector-based approach is commonly used in energy analysis and energy policy. However, this is not necessarily a complete representation of the...

Several studies have addressed the impact of buildings on energy demand and consumption in recent years. Urban areas are set to become greater energy consumers and the residential building stock has a great deal. Energy efficiency regulations in buildings are recent, and most of the housing stock is far from meeting present standard and is responsible of a high percentage of global energy consu...
