Residential Energy Consumption Detailed Geographical Analysis
This report summarizes a study of residential energy use in 10 U.S. cities sponsored by HUD to explore geographically the relation between residential building construction and energy use. Locations selected for study were Atlanta, Ga., Boston, Mass., Chicago, Ill., Denver, Colo., Houston, Tex., Los Angeles, Calif., Miami, Fla., Minneapolis, Minn., San Francisco, Calif., and St. Louis, Mo. These sites represented diversified climates and included variations in other factors that influenced local building construction and therefore heating and cooling energy use, such as design practices, energy prices, local income levels, and ethnic backgrounds. Five steps were followed in conducting each city - specific study: (1) identify trends in construction and design and resulting energy use patterns of residences in each area; (2) define characteristic single - family, townhouse, low - rise, and high - rise structures representing typical new buildings in each area; (3) calculate hourly, monthly, and annual energy requirements for heating and cooling; (4) define improved energy - conserving modifications for the residences; and (5) calculate hourly, monthly, and annual energy requirements for heating and cooling improved residences. Single - family residences required the most energy for heating and cooling, followed by townhouse, high - rise, and low - rise structures. Inefficiencies were associated with electricity generation, and the climatic environment affected in - structure energy use. Building construction proved to be the most important variable in residential energy conservation. Supporting data and references are provided.
