Abstract:
The results of an analysis of residential electricity use are presentedfor the period 1980-1997, as a contribution to the annual publication on the
state of the environment by RIVM. The development of total electricity use is
described here as the result of changes in so-called appliance-factors:
penetration level, capacity/functionality, operation hours and technical
efficiency improvement. These changes are caused by daily behaviour, buying
decisions or restrictions which influence electricity use indirectly. On the
basis of literature and surveys a great number of concrete behavioural
patterns is presented, categorised along the three types of behaviour and
coupled to the four appliance-factors. Next, the development of the
appliance-factors for each appliance is quantified using the information
gathered. In a spreadsheet the electricity use by appliance, by energy
function and by household is calculated and fitted to known electricity use
data. By calculating electricity use without the changes in tbc appliance
factors, results are obtained with respect to the specific contribution of
higher penetration levels, intensified use, better appliance services, and
more efficient appliances. Finally, these results have been translated into a
total efficiency-effect (technical and behavioural) and a total
comfort-effect (penetration and other) to comply with the presentation format
in the RIVM-publication. 25 refs.
