Understanding the energy behavior of households in the mountainous town of Metsovo, Greece
This article is a methodical attempt to understand the factors that influence energy consumption in households in the mountainous settlement of Metsovo, Greece. So far, most of the research on the settlement has indirectly approached the investigation of the factors that shape the energy behavior of households. In the present research, the identification of factors is directly approached through linear regression and clustering methods. Income, heating system, and household size were identified as the main factors influencing household energy expenditure. Since mountain areas are plagued by energy poverty, the study of household energy behavior inevitably highlights aspects of this phenomenon. By highlighting these factors and the spatial dimension of energy consumption (i.e., higher thermal energy needs in mountain areas), it was possible to suggest more targeted measures specifically designed for mountain areas, complementing the existing energy policy.
期刊介绍:
The journal Energy Efficiency covers wide-ranging aspects of energy efficiency in the residential, tertiary, industrial and transport sectors. Coverage includes a number of different topics and disciplines including energy efficiency policies at local, regional, national and international levels; long term impact of energy efficiency; technologies to improve energy efficiency; consumer behavior and the dynamics of consumption; socio-economic impacts of energy efficiency measures; energy efficiency as a virtual utility; transportation issues; building issues; energy management systems and energy services; energy planning and risk assessment; energy efficiency in developing countries and economies in transition; non-energy benefits of energy efficiency and opportunities for policy integration; energy education and training, and emerging technologies. See Aims and Scope for more details.
