Abstract

IN Japan, since the growth of energy consumption in the residential sector is remarkable, energy saving is recognized as being important. However, in evaluating residential energy systems, benchmarks based on the standard "four person household" are still applied, and a family's again and other changes are not taken into consideration. With this in mind, evaluation nethods for residential energy systems which take family growth into consideration were studied in this paper. THe energy consumption of the household over a 30-year evaluation period was calculated with the reflection of the number of persons in the family and change activities by the aging. The following results become clear: (1) Energy consumption and variation by household shift processes in each housing energy system, (2) The superiority of a photovoltaic residence and a PEFC(polymer electrolyte fuel cell) system residence in the energy conservation, (3) A possibility that the energy conservation effect will interchange between systems depending on household shift processes, (4) High correlation between the household number and the rate of energy saving, (5) The influence of elderly people's hospitalization on housing energy consumption.
