为遏制新冠病毒的传播，世界各国政府实施了部分或完全封锁。在封锁期间，国家能源需求下降；然而，随着人们呆在家里的时间越来越长，住宅能源消耗可能会增加。本文报告了一项英国调查研究（N = 1016名参与者）的结果，该研究是关于他们在2020年3月第一次封锁期间的能源使用情况。结果表明，自我报告的供暖行为在封锁期间没有实质性变化。关于电器的使用，特别是电视和计算机设备的使用时间增加了，并且在一天中分布得更多。财务管理能力较弱的家庭与智能电表在家庭显示器上的更多使用相关，而更大的节能尝试与家庭显示器的更多使用正相关，尽管相关性很小。总而言之，结果表明，家庭能源使用行为，特别是供暖方面的行为，并没有像预期的那样发生太大变化，这至少可以部分解释为第一次封锁期间相对温暖的天气。用实际的能源数据证实调查结果是更详细地了解调查结果的下一步。
To contain the spread of Covid-19, governments across the world imposed partial or complete lockdowns. National energy demand decreased in periods of lockdowns; however, as people spent more time at home, residential energy use likely increased. This paper reports the results of a UK survey study (N = 1016 participants) about their energy-use practices during the first lockdown in March 2020. The results indicated that self-reported heating behaviours did not substantially change during lockdown. Regarding appliance use, in particular the duration of usage for televisions and computing equipment has increased and has spread more over the day. Being less able to manage financially was correlated with a greater usage of the smart meter in-home display and a greater attempt to save energy was positively correlated with greater usage of the in-home display, though correlations were small. In summary, the results indicate that home energy-use behaviours, in particular around heating, did not change as much as might have been expected, which might at least partly be explained by the comparatively warm weather during the first lockdown. Corroborating the survey findings with actual energy data is the next essential step to understand findings in more detail.
