消费者行为是家庭能源消费中最重要的问题之一。本文将在实地调研的基础上，对改善消费者行为的节能潜力进行评估。在最初的调查计划中，从2007年4月到2008年7月，对中国杭州市三个典型住宅楼的家庭每月用电量进行了监测。该等楼宇共有124个住户被选为调查对象。在2008年7月之前，向其中一半的人介绍了34项节能措施，以教他们如何改善自己的行为和控制日常生活中的电器。最后，于2008年8月初进行了问卷调查，以确定居住者行为的变化。通过对剩余的71个有效样本的用电差异进行比较分析，可以得出以下结论：（1）由于生活水平的提高和对电器的依赖程度增加，中国居民用电量在不久的将来将继续增加，以及（2）通过告知住户节能措施以改善他们的行为，可以节省10%以上的家庭用电。
Abstract Consumer behavior is one of the most important issues with respect to household energy consumption. This paper will evaluate the energy-saving potential of improving consumer behavior on the basis of a field study. In the original survey plan, the monthly electricity use of households in three typical residential buildings in the city of Hangzhou, China, were monitored from April 2007 to July 2008. A total of 124 households in those buildings were selected as the subject households. Half of them were informed of 34 energy-saving measures before July 2008 to teach them how to improve their behavior and control electric appliances in their daily lives. Finally, a questionnaire survey was administered in the beginning of August 2008 to identify the changes in the occupants' behavior. Based on the comparison analyses among the differences in the electricity uses of the 71 remaining valid samples, the conclusions can be drawn that: (1) residential electricity use will increase continually in the near future in China due to improved standards of living and a greater dependency on electric appliances, and (2) more than 10% of household electricity use can be conserved by informing occupants of energy-saving measures to improve their behavior.
