ENERGY EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC END USES: BASED ON STATISTICAL SURVEY AND HOURLY METERED DATA

By the end of 2013 at the latest almost all electric consumption will be measured hourly in Finland. Beyond billing facilitation and troubleshooting, AMR provided great deal of opportunity for energy efficiency analysis. This study evaluates efficiencies and saving potential factors of household electricity end-use consumption by analyzing data from AMR meters and questionnaire collected statistical data. The interdependency of household appliances in factoring the gross household CO2 emission will be given much attention to achieve holistic approach. The study analyzes the extent of utilization of AMR in improving efficiencies of household consumptions.
