尽管在过去的十年中，澳大利亚在需求管理（DM）上花费了数百万美元，但对实施的DM/水效率计划的评估仍然很少。本文汇集了一些有限的评价研究实例，详细介绍了所使用的统计分析方法和可持续未来研究所（ISF）代表水务公司进行的这些研究的结果。这些研究包括住宅和非住宅部门的节水测量以及实施项目的经济评估。本文强调了评价的重要性和将评价纳入水利规划过程的必要性。它还强调了在实施DM计划时，该领域目前正在进行的与减压和能源使用相关的额外研究。本文将对开始或目前参与糖尿病项目开发或实施和评估现有糖尿病项目的广泛从业者感兴趣。
Even though millions of dollars have been spent on demand management (DM) over the last decade across Australia, there is still very little evaluation of implemented DM/water efficiency programs. This paper brings together some of the limited examples of evaluation studies undertaken, providing details of both the statistical analysis method used and the findings of such studies undertaken by the Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) on behalf of water utilities. The studies include measurement of water savings in the residential and non-residential sectors and economic assessment of implemented programs. The paper highlights the importance of evaluation and need for embedding evaluation into the water planning process. It also highlights additional research currently being undertaken in this field associated with pressure reduction and energy usage when implementing DM programs. This paper will be of interest to a broad spectrum of practitioners beginning or currently involved in the development of DM programs or implementing and evaluating existing DM programs.
