This chapter explores best practices for identifying services and uses in households, and analyzes supplier data to understand household energy consumption. It discusses the importance of household energy consumption, definitions of households, energy sources used, breakdown of energy uses, factors influencing energy consumption, and challenges in obtaining information from suppliers. It also provides recommendations for further development of appliances' energy use.

Is it sufficiently clear what kind of methodologies to put in 5a,5b,5c,5d,6? • Contents you miss in draft outline 5a? • Contents you would like included? Chapter 5aHousehold consumption: identify services and uses into the houses
Do we merge the best practises into the methodology chapters? • How many best practises do we want? • How many can we get? • What level of detail? If 3 best practises for each methodology, and 3 pages = 27 pages. Chapter 10aTop-down International best practises
IEA used this template for their good practise in the EE manual. - What do we like from this?- What would we do different?
Alternative title? Introduction to HH e.cons? • Contents you miss in draft outline 2? • Contents you would like included? Chapter 2Household consumption: identify services and uses into the houses
Chapter 2 : proposed outline • Why knowing about energy consumption of households matters • Policy: EPBD, energy efficiency, climate and energy targets, • A figure displaying the share of households in total EU energy consumption. • How do we define a household? • Residential sector, dwelling, household types, small businesses/farms • Common definitions or at least a list of categories to consider for inclusion or exclusion • What sources of energy are used? • Electricity. • Gas. • Renewables. • Coal, oil, etc... • Units and conversion factors: kWh, m3, GJ… • A Figure/pie chart: % of household energy by energy source (NL as example, EU if available) • How is energy used in households? • Common breakdowns of uses • Heating, cooling, cooking, lighting, hot water, … • Diagram/illustration of house with energy flows • Figure/pie chart: % of household energy by use (NL as example, EU if available) • What factors influence how much energy is used in a household? • Household size, degree-days, insulation, technology, the whole variable list or a condensed version JongCBS Visit Austria
Chapter 5a: proposed outline • What do we mean by suppliers? (or some clear definition of the chapter subject) • Types of information sourced from suppliers • Total household energy consumption • Examples: grid managers in Brussels, NL, Spain, Ireland • Pitfalls and lessons learned • Common issues and how to deal with them • Equipment/appliance sales • (NL) Solar panels • Refrigerators • (NL) Heat pumps • From sales figures to appliance stocks and energy use • List of models and assumptions actually used • General strengths and weaknesses of using supplier data • Strengths: survey/admin burden reduced, • Weaknesses: suppliers usually don’t know what is sold for household purposes. Non-standard definitions… • Costs, man-hours, skills • How to get information from suppliers • General considerations • Developing new legal requirements • (time required, steps needed, problems encountered) • Voluntary cooperation • Seeking win-win situations • Examples • Recommendations for further development of appliances energy use JongCBS Visit Austria
