摘要: THERE are many oppotunities for reducing electricity consumption in buildings, but identifying and quantifying them is often perceived to be too time-consuming or expensive justify. The average consumer currently receives a monthly bill as signal of their consumption. Most building owners don't have good sense how much energy different appliances activities consume. In fact, people consistently over-estimate the impact less-energy-consuming less-effective conservation activities, under-estimate more-energy-consuming more-effective [1].
