本文调查了中国某省居民部门能源效率的障碍，并探讨了家庭用电模式。本文介绍了对辽宁省600多户家庭的调查问卷的结果，在辽宁省各政府机构的实地研究，以及对辽宁省政府官员的研究访谈，以确定他们在中国能源效率工作的有效性。然后调查了电力消费者利用节能机会的程度，这些机会与更节能的灯、热水器、电器、空调和加热器以及更好的节能标签有关。这篇文章还评估了电力用户对电价及其消费水平的认识程度，并触及了收入水平上升与用电量之间的联系。最后，本文就如何在辽宁省及其他地区加强促进节能和减少电力负荷增长提出了建议。2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This article investigates the barriers to energy efficiency at the residential sector within one province in China and explores patterns of household electricity consumption. The article presents the results of a survey questionnaire distributed to more than 600 households in Liaoning Province, field research at various Liaoning government agencies, and research interviews of Liaoning government officials to determine the efficacy of their energy efficiency efforts in China. It then investigates the extent that electricity consumers have taken advantage of energy efficiency opportunities relating to more efficient lights, water heaters, appliances, air-conditioners and heaters, and better energy-efficiency labels. The article also assesses the degree that electricity users have become more aware about electricity prices and their levels of consumption, and touches on the connection between rising levels of income and electricity use. It concludes by providing recommendations for how to improve efforts to promote conservation and reduce electricity load growth in Liaoning Province and beyond. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
