Abstract

In this paper, a year filed survey has been conducted in eighty households which are located in six different climatic districts in Japan from December 2002 to November 2003. The investigated contents included energy consumptions for different end users, indoor climate conditions, thermal performance of the buildings, lifestyles of residents, etc.. In addition, statistical analyses were carried out using the quantification method I, so as to find out the influential factors that determine residential energy consumptions.
