COOLING ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF RESIDENTIAL AIR-CONDITIONER

The energy consumption of residential sector in Japan has been continuing to increase. It is necessary to grasp the usage and the catalog of home electric appliances. The energy-efficiency performance of air-conditioner has been improved recently. It is said, however, the relationship between the performance of the catalog and of actual usage of air-conditioner is different. In this paper, we grasp the electricity if air-conditioner in 14 houses in Kanto district, and study the relationship between actual and expected usage of air-conditioner.
