THE ENERGY-SAVING EFFECT BY CHANGE OF LIFE STYLE IN AN ALL ELECTRIFIED HOUSE(Environmental Engineering)

Abstract

Energy consumption of apparatuses and thermal environment were measured in an all-electrified house in Sendai, and energy consumption characteristics of some apparatuses was clarified. Numerical simulation with the programs "SCHEDULE" and "TRNSYS" was carried out. The accuracy of the numerical simulation model was verified by comparing with a measurement result. Furthermore, the energy saving effect by change of a life style was examined using the model. It was found that about 20% of the total amount of energy consumption could be cut down by change of a life style.
