Abstract
In the middle of May to September 2014, the research team conducted survey and field measurement on rural residential energy consumption and environment condition in China’s local city in order to grasp the lifestyle pattern and its correlation on energy use in the demand side. In this paper, the analyses of people lifestyle and summer energy consumption will be presented through statistical analyses based on data which collected from questionnaire survey. The results of questionnaire were presented and discussed. Based on the questionnaire results, we classified the housing types into several groups then compared the energy use of each type. The major influential factors on housing energy consumption were analyzed and the results were discussed. The results of field measurement during summer which conducted to several types of houses were also discussed. Finally, the results will propose some strategies on lowering housing energy use in the village. Further, the results will give conceptual layout to find the correlation between environmental quality, thermal condition, and energy consumption.
Highlights
Due to the high economic growth of China, the urban areas and even in rural areas development became difficult to control
Zhang et al [6], investigated how rural residential commercial energy consumption evolves in China by applied the decoupling index combined with LDMI method has identified the contributing role of different factors affecting the change of rural residential energy consumption between 1991-2010
The results discussed in this paper are only the questionnaire results related with the occupant lifestyle and housing energy consumption
Summary
Due to the high economic growth of China, the urban areas and even in rural areas development became difficult to control. Zhang et al [6], investigated how rural residential commercial energy consumption evolves in China by applied the decoupling index combined with LDMI method has identified the contributing role of different factors affecting the change of rural residential energy consumption between 1991-2010. He et al [7], concludes the rural building energy efficiency relates to strategic issues of China’s energy security, national economy and people’s livelihood, and influences the global energy consumption and carbon emissions.
