Analysis of more than 15000 completed online surveys sheds light on energy demand modelling for household appliances
(eceee news, 24 Aug 2017) Based on more than 15000 completed in-depth online surveys in eight EU countries, a new working paper discusses energy demand modelling for household appliances. The study was carried out in the framework of the BRISKEE project.
The BRISKEE survey is a representative online survey conducted in households in eight EU countries (FR, DE, IT, PL, RO, ES, SE, UK) in July/August 2016, with 1500 to 2000 observations per country. The survey participants were asked if they had purchased one of the following four appliances within the past five years: refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines. They were then screened for their most recent purchase, such that the subsequent questions addressing the participants’ criteria for energy efficiency investments are based on their real purchase decision.
The project has generated a number of reports. This recent article presents a cross-country comparison of empirical data of purchase criteria for residential appliances and shows how the findings can be implemented in energy demand modelling.
