Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although the environmental pressure from household consumption has been rapidly increasing for the past few decades, only a few studies have investigated how household lifestyle affects environmental pressure. In this study I conducted a series of empirical analysis to examine how household lifestyles affects electricity usage at home. I then identified the key challenges for household energy saving
