Outline of Final Research Achievements

We studied the estimation method of each usage of energy consumption. In the method, we used three measured data of principal electric power, gas and water consumption logged at a certain time interval and could estimate the energy consumption of hot water, heating, and other usage within a practical level of accuracy. By using the data logged in every 10 minutes in more than 200 households and the data logged in every minute in 16 households, we studied the accuracy of the estimation method of energy consumption in each usage. Furthermore, we showed the amount of energy consumption per capita in the houses became larger and varied greatly if the size of household was small.
Finally, we made the energy-saving advice based on energy consumption of each household in apartment houses and researched the relationship between energy consumption and the occupants’ energy-saving behavior and consciousness.
