摘要: Abstract The aim of this work has been to study everyday energy-related behaviour in homes. All residents 57 Swedish homes, living three housing areas, have recorded time diaries over a period four days, during the same each area. technical differences between houses are limited, as building designs within area same. On an aggregated level, diary data analysed with and without typical power appliances well relation measured total energy use, indoor temperature water usage. Cluster analyses performed order find characteristics groups regard their behaviour. Some findings were that report long use/operating for activities related electronic equipment (45% reported time). Residents which used greater extent than others characterised by performing operating times, combination high, fairly ratings. majority showed many different behaviours, indicates number strategies influence behaviours – not just one will be required.
