Highlights
- Identification of critical parameters influencing energy consumption in Indian homes, finding the correlation of selected parameters with energy consumption and EPI
- This study provides insight into energy consumption behaviour at the end-user level.
Abstract
Indian residential energy consumption increased nearly 50 times its levels in 1971. Studies have reported a wide variation between the statistically projected and actual energy consumption values in residential buildings. Access to reliable energy consumption data is limited in Indian cities. This study aims to use primary datasets to develop a baseline for residential energy consumption in India. Its first objective is to understand the prevailing practices adopted in residential energy studies. The second is to understand the contributions of socioeconomic factors to it. This research analyses 2327 primary survey samples from Jaipur. The dataset was analyzed using the multivariate statistical technique. The results highlighted the uptake in appliance ownership and its implications on energy consumption across income groups. The study has also compared the relevance of EPI (annual consumption/total area) and annual energy consumption as indicators in the building benchmarking process for Indian homes.

The three main global energy concerns of providing access to modern energy, enhancing the security of the energy supply, and minimising the impact of energy systems on the climate have an impact on both national and international energy governance. To develop solutions that address the many facets of these difficulties, however, a variety of actors and stakeholders must be included due to the complexity of the energy challenges.
Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% to 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Managing increasing urbanisation is a challenge, and nations must deal with the effects it will have on the environment in terms of energy and climate.
Our transition to a future with lower carbon emissions depends heavily on buildings. They are our places of residence, rest, and employment; they also account for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 40% of the world’s energy usage.
