In this paper, the factors of affecting to "monthly energy consumption" analyzed by "the multi-level model" were clarified based on the measurement data of energy consumption for three years from October, 2008 in the electrified housing located in Hiroshima area.
In this paper, the electric power consumption of all electrified housing located in Hiroshima area was examined from the viewpoint of the relationships between the energy consumption for cooling and heating and the characteristics of houses and households. New separation method was developed to extract the electric power consumption for cooling and heating uses from the consumption for mixed uses, and the validity of the method was confirmed. Based on the consumption extracted, the actual condition of the consumption for heating and cooling was shown. Furthermore, to clarify the factors affecting heating and cooling uses, the Quantity Theory Cluster I was applied by using the characteristics of houses and households as explanatory variables.As the results, the partial correlation coefficient was higher in "structure", "age of householder" and "number of air conditioners" in cooling use, and "number of air conditioners" and "number of adults" in heating use. Therefore, it was clarified that the factors affecting the energy consumption for heating differed from them for cooling
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
