Residential Monitoring to Decrease Energy Use and Carbon Emissions in Europe (REMODECE)

This paper presents the preliminary results of the residential monitoring campaign, which is being carried out in the scope of the EIE project REMODECE, whose overall objective is to contribute to an increased understanding of the electricity consumption in the EU-25+2 households for the different types of equipment, including the consumers’ behaviour and comfort levels, and to identify demand trends. The paper presents results on electronic loads, whose relevance is increasing significantly. Particular attention is given to standby consumption, which is generated by a large variety of appliances. From the measurements carried out it can be concluded that there is wide range of performance levels.
