Abstract

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.

了解希腊梅索沃山区城镇家庭的能源行为
本文试图有条不紊地了解影响希腊梅索沃山区定居点家庭能源消耗的因素。迄今为止,有关该定居点的大多数研究都是间接调查影响家庭能源行为的因素。在本研究中,通过线性回归和聚类方法直接确定了影响因素。收入、供暖系统和家庭规模被确定为影响家庭能源支出的主要因素。由于山区深受能源贫困的困扰,对家庭能源行为的研究不可避免地会突出这一现象的方方面面。通过强调这些因素和能源消耗的空间维度(即山区对热能的需求更高),有可能提出专门针对山区的更有针对性的措施,以补充现有的能源政策。

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.
