Annual and monthly energy consumption classified by end-use, and energy consumption for some appliance in a typical summer and winter day were shown. In conclusion, ) Total annual energy consumption per household was 4-78 GJ/year. )The annual energy consumption for space heating and hot water supply were to be about 7% of the total energy consumptions, showed a remarkable tendency with higher seasonal fluctuations, and varied house to house. 3) The annual energy consumptions in the end-use except for air-conditioning, presented smaller seasonal fluctuations and about GJ per month in each house. 4) The difference of energy consumption among houses with same thermal performance was resulted from the differences of the space heating form and usage pattern of each appliance related with residents lifestyle. It is hoped that lifestyle solution would be selected and acted reasonably as one of available options. As an approach to this problem, it is expected to provide energy-saving information on each appliance for residents intelligibly and propose acceptable lifestyle options.. Introduction Growth in energy consumption of Japanese houses has been rising due to lifestyle changes, especially growth in ownership of appliances (Genjo et al., 5). Kyoto Protocol entered into force on 6 February 5, therefore it is necessary to reduce residential energy consumption for the solution of global warming and global sustainability. There is considered to be a limitation for the solution to residential energy conservation by improving insulation of houses and efficiency of appliances. Although some surveys show that the latest appliances use less electricity than conventional ones, lifestyle solution such as behavioral changes is believed to be more practical than investing energy saving ones, in view of the fact that most residents still use conventional ones. It becomes more important hereafter to promote lifestyle solution by behavioral changes such as the reduction of leaking electricity and control of set point in order to maximize the associated energy-saving potential. In order to clarify energy consumption for each appliance and consider possible lifestyles which result in residential energy conservation, measurements for energy consumption and indoor climate of four houses located in cold climatic area of Japan were undertaken for about two years since November,.. Description of Investigated Houses and Measurement Method. Description of Investigated Houses Three detached houses and one apartment house were measured as typical residential examples in Akita Prefecture located in northern part of Japan called Tohoku area from the view point of their sizes, performances and energy sources. Table summarizes the general characteristics of the houses. One house (house C) in Akita City and Three houses (house A, B and D) in Honjo City were measured. The latitude of Akita City is N and the mean outdoor temperature for the month of January and August is -.4 and 4.4, respectively. Honjo City is located to the south of Akita City. Thermal performances of all investigated houses conform to the current Japanese residential standard for energy conservation. The total
2 The 5 World Sustainable Building Conference, Tokyo, 7-9 September 5 (SB5Tokyo) floor areas of four houses vary from 78 to 6 m. Family numbers range from three to four. In house D, resident changed in October 3 due to former residents moving. The investigated houses included two all electrified houses (house A and B) using late-night electricity, and the energy sources used in other two houses (house C and D) were electricity, gas and kerosene. Table shows description of facilities for investigated houses.. Measurement Method Investigation Items are shown in Table 3. Electricity, gas and kerosene consumption were measured. Temperature and humidity in the living room and bedroom at. m above floor surface, temperature at range hood and water temperature in toilet flushing tank were also measured. Devices and conditions for measurements are shown in Figure. The energy data failed to measure were compensated by referring to energy bills. In addition to the measurements, questionnaire survey and interview were conducted..3 Investigated Appliances and Classification by End-Use Energy consumptions were examined and analyzed for two types of classification by end-use as shown in Table 4. The major classification is composed by the seven types of use: air-conditioning, hot water supply, cooking, entertainment/information, household/sanitation, lighting and others. The minor classification is equal to classification by each appliance.

Results The results were mainly displayed as follows from the measurements for two years conducted from November 3 to October 4 except for comparison of annual energy consumption.
4 The 5 World Sustainable Building Conference, Tokyo, 7-9 September 5 (SB5Tokyo) 3. Annual Energy Consumption by End-Use Figure shows annual energy consumption by end-use for two years except house D, comparing with the statistic averaged in Tohoku area. 3 and 4 in Figure means the data from December to November 3, the data from November 3 to October 4, respectively. From an examination of Figure, total annual energy consumption per house was 4-78 GJ/year and less than the statistic averaged in Tohoku area (997) with the exception of house C (3). Japanese national averaged total annual energy consumption was about half of that of the United States (998), probably due to the fact that the consumption of Japan (997) for air-conditioning was about one fifth of that of the United States. Interestingly, the total annual energy consumptions of 4 in house A, B and C were lower than that of 3. It should be an expression of achievement of energy-conscious behaviors gradually during two-year measurement. In particular, the total annual energy consumption of 4 in house C decreased significantly and was two thirds of that of 3, because of the decrease of family number by commuter marriage and reduction of heating area by control of panel radiators. In view of end-use, the annual energy consumptions of measured four houses were -38 GJ/year for space heating,.-.4 GJ/year for space cooling, -9 GJ/year for hot water supply, respectively. Energy consumptions for air-conditioning of measured houses were lower than the statistic averaged in Tohoku area (997) for the reason of higher insulation. The annual energy consumption for space heating and hot water supply were to be about 7% of the total annual energy consumption. Totally low consumption for space cooling resulted from cool summer, especially it appeared in 3. The difference of annual energy consumption among houses was caused from the differences of the space heating form as shown in Table, usage pattern as well as performance of each appliance, and residents life style. Specifically, all rooms were heated constantly with storage heaters in house B and hot water heating panels in house C, in contrast with local heating intermittently with air-conditioners in house A, vented kerosene heaters in house D. The difference of annual energy consumption for hot water supply between house A and house B that use an electric water heater was about 4-5 GJ/year. This question is taken up in section 3.3. Accordingly, the reduction of the energy consumption for space heating and hot water supply would lead to efficient residential energy conservation, but the reduction of the energy consumption for other end-use would be considered to be similarly important. 3. Monthly Energy Consumption by End-Use As seen in Figure 3, energy consumptions for air-conditioning increased in winter and showed a remarkable tendency with higher seasonal fluctuations, and varied house to house. Similar tendency was seen in the energy consumptions for hot water supply. On the other hand, energy consumptions with the exception of the use for air-conditioning, presented smaller seasonal fluctuations and about - GJ per month in each house. It must be noted that piling of small reduction of energy consumption per household might make an effect in terms of national energy conservation.

Annual Annual energy consumption [GJ/year] 3.3 Energy Consumption by Appliance For example of usage patterns of energy consumptions by appliances, daily profiles of energy consumptions by appliances for space heating, cooking and entertainment/information of house A and house B at 5 minutes intervals during 4 hours averaged for a week including a typical winter day (8 January 4, average outdoor temperature of the day: -.7 ) are shown in Figure 4(b)-(d) and (f)-(h). Temperature fluctuations are also shown in Figure 4(a) and (e). As seen in Figure 4(e), temperature is stable in house B, in contrast with house A shown in Figure 4(a). Energy consumption for space heating of house A with air-conditioners is less than house B with storage heaters, although temperature fluctuations of house A are larger than house B. (Notice that vertical axis is illustrated with different scale in Figure 4(b) and (f).) Therefore, quality of indoor climate would be higher in proportion to energy devoted, comparing to houses which have same level of thermal performance. In this case, residents of house B do not seem to realize they consume much energy because of using inexpensive late-night electricity for storage heaters. Connected with this, dishwasher operation at midnight in house A observed in Figure (c) can be explain as due to energy price. Needless to say, common appliances of both Indoor temperature[ ] Figure 4 F living room in stairs F bedroom in F bedroom Outdoor in F living room Dishwasher Induction heating cooker Refrigerator Microwave oven & rice cooker TV & VCR in F living room (a) Temperature Personal conputer FAX (b) Space Heating (c) Cooking (d) Entertainment /Information Outdoor temperature[ ] Indoor temperature[ ] F living room F bedroom Outdoor Storage heater in F living room Refrigerator Storage heater in F Storage heater in F Japanese room Induction heating cooker Microwave oven & rice cooker TV & VCR in F living room Fax Game machine (e) Temperature (f) Space Heating (g) Cooking (h) Entertainment /Information Temperature fluctuations and daily profiles of energy consumptions by appliances for space heating, cooking and entertainment/information of house A and house B in a typical winter day (left: house A, right: house B) Outdoor temperature[ ]

Accordingly, it is needed to reconsider the usage pattern for each appliance associated with residents lifestyle in discussion of energysaving potential. Similarly, Figure 5 shows daily profiles of the energy consumptions by electric water heaters of house A and B in a typical summer day (3 July 4, average outdoor temperature of the day: 3.3 ) and a typical winter day. Both houses have a peak of energy consumption by electric water heater after : a.m. because of using late-night electricity. However, duration time of peak differs from house to house, as given in Figure 5. It would be caused by the differences of boiling temperature of electric water heater (85 in house A, 65 in house B) and total use of hot water in each house. Consequently, the energy consumption by electric water heater of house B is about half comparing to house A in winter. The effect of changing of the hot water usage on the energy consumption for hot water supply was identified. 4. Conclusions Measurements for energy consumption and indoor climate of four houses located in cold climatic area of Japan have been conducted for about two years and the following conclusions were obtained: ) Total annual energy consumption per household was 4-78GJ/year. ) The annual energy consumptions for space heating and hot water supply were to be about 7% of the total energy consumptions in any investigated house, showed a remarkable tendency with higher seasonal fluctuations, and varied house to house. 3) The annual energy consumptions in the end-use except for air-conditioning, presented smaller seasonal fluctuations and about GJ per month in each house. 4) The difference of energy consumption among houses with same thermal performance was resulted from the differences of space heating form and usage pattern of each appliance related with residents lifestyle. Looking ahead, residential energy consumption is likely to be affected by the trend of lifestyle increasingly. It is hoped that lifestyle solution would be selected and acted reasonably as one of available options. As an approach to this problem, it is expected to provide energy-saving information on each appliance for residents intelligibly and propose acceptable lifestyle options.
