Modeling and mapping domestic energy behavior: Insights from a consumer survey in France

摘要: Abstract Most works on the modeling of energy consumption in buildings make little headway producing results that can be put to use public policies. They reduce a quantity, without taking account behavioral processes and spatial variations generate explain them. The objective our study is reverse perspective start from energy-related behavior rather than intensities consumption. Using regression methods data survey lifestyles 1950 households Ile-de-France (Paris) region, we first model behaviors by looking at characteristics dwellings buildings, as well socioeconomic demographic their occupants. Second, investigate relationship between using models simulate domestic national scale. Finally, map scale region. Energy-related turn out product complex interactions habitat, inhabitants, environment. Their distribution linked territorial dynamics (metropolitanization, habitat types, etc.), suggested cartographic analysis. But these also highlight complexity processes, insofar there are no mechanical explanatory variables for behaviors.
