摘要：减少住宅部门的能源消耗对于应对全球变暖至关重要。本研究旨在评估居民意识和生活方式的改变对住宅能耗的影响。首先，回顾了2010年推荐的家用电子产品耗电量和低影响生活方式，将每年通过实践低影响生活方式减少的耗电量定义为低影响生活方式点。其次，在东京目黑区进行问卷调查，调查居民的生活方式与能源消耗之间的关系。结果表明，随着家庭生活方式点的增加，年能耗降低。最后，分析了东日本大地震对居民能源意识的影响。超过85%的受访者发现他们对能源的认识发生了变化，平均减少率为13%。
Abstract Reducing energy consumption in the residential sector is crucial for addressing global warming. This study aims to evaluate the reduction in residential energy consumption owing to changes in residents′ awareness and lifestyle. First, the power consumption of home electronics and the low-impact lifestyle recommended in 2010 were reviewed, and the annual reduction in electricity consumption by practicing low-impact lifestyle was defined as low-impact lifestyle point. Second, a questionnaire survey was conducted in Tokyo′s Meguro Ward to investigate the relation between the residents′ lifestyle and energy consumption. Results showed that the annual energy consumption decreased as the lifestyle points of the households increased. Finally, the effect of the Great East Japan Earthquake on residents′ awareness regarding energy was examined. More than 85% of the respondents were found to have experienced a change in their awareness toward energy and the average reduction rate was found to be 13%.
