Abstract
The way in which households consumed electricity largely influences the total amount of energy used. This paper uses questionnaires to obtain information on the daily electricity consumption behavior of 1,140 households. A comprehensive analysis was used to determine the residential electricity consumption pattern. The study showed that, the traditional residential household electricity consumption patten has some effect on the energy saving strategies, however, it did not provide any scientific or rational information loop system overall. The quantitative feedback platform can be used to improve the level of communication among the residents regarding the electric consumption pattern, and to continuously strengthen residents’ awareness of energy saving. In addition, by combining traditional energy saving strategies with the scientific, and systematic residential household electricity energy saving system as a new idea for reducing end-use energy consumption will be useful and may also help in achieving the goal of energy saving subsequently emission reduction.
