Abstract
This paper describes how domestic appliances (excluding water and space heaters) and lighting devices can be redesigned to use electricity more efficiently. Three levels of conservation strategy are analysed: ‘moderate’, ‘strong’ and ‘radical’. These result in the reduction of electricity consumption to 80%, 50% and 35% respectively, without affecting the service and comfort obtained. The calculations are based on Danish behaviour patterns and appliances sold in Denmark, but the results can be transferred to other countries. The savings reported are shown to be economically attractive as well as technologically possible.
