This report aims to estimate the household energy consumption in 2015 on the assumptions that lifestyle changes will be occurred in future. We assume that people who take energy saving action will be increased in excess of the recent trend. In addition, we quantify the energy saving effect by the realization of lifestyle changes. The result shows that the increase of people who try energy saving can highly contribute to the energy conservation in household.
