Korea is a country with an exceptionally high energy consumption. For economic reasons, Korean households are forced to save more energy. Korea's household energy consumption has grown slowly compared to other sectors and household energy consumption per capita is lower than the OECD average. However, its per capita electricity consumption soared and is expected to remain climbing mainly due to the increasing number of one-person households. To establish an effective strategy against a possible electricity shortage, the actual condition survey of electricity energy consumption first needs to be clearly understood. This study adopted both a general survey and a detailed survey of people living in apartment housings and data was collected on electrical appliance use according to individual schedules. Based on these data, the results were used to attempt to analyze electricity consumption patterns resulting from energy using activities of residents and to determine electricity consumption propensity according to each household member's characteristics in apartment housings.

This paper aims to analyze architectural planning factors that could contribute to reductions in electricity consumption in the household of apartments, to apply energy saving methods at the design phase. These six architectural planning factors were orientation, building type (flat, tower block), standard floor access type (corridor access type, stair case type, EV hall access type), household location (floor), household opening type (one side opening, right angle opening, two sides opening or three sides opening), and bay on the facade (one bay, two bays, three bays, four bays), and these were derived from literature review. Household electricity consumption data were gathered from 2168 households with a total area of 135~150$m^2$ of 6 apartment complexes over 1000 households in Seoul. The annual characteristics of electricity consumption according to architectural planning factors were analyzed. And, variances between groups with respect to the mean of summer, winter, and annual electricity consumption according to each architectural planning factors were analyzed using ANOVA and t-test. The results showed that an annual electric energy saving of over 1000kWh was facilitated by these planning factors. In addition, high energy efficiency architectural planning factors based on the analysis were as follows: southwest orientation, flat type, corridor access type and staircase type, household loation below the 20th floor, two sides opening and three sides opening, and 2 bays and 3 bays.

This study investigated (1) consumer perception about the level of electricity price, (2) the amount of household electricity consumption, and (3) consumer perception on electricity pricing system reform. For data collection, a national wide survey was conducted between November 22 and December 15, 2006. Excluding 233 cases, because of incomplete responses, data from 1767 households were analyzed. The major findings were as follows; More than 50% of the respondents consumed between 100-300kWh of electricity per month. Household size and income were significantly associated with electricity consumption. Approximately 50% of respondents perceived that electricity was being overcharged. Approximately 50% of the respondents positively evaluated the effects of the graduation pricing system. Households consuming more than 300kWh of electricity per month preferred a flat unit price. Based on these results, we suggest the implications to reforming the electricity pricing system.

In this paper, we draws tendency of the electricity consumption in residential buildings according to inhabitants Composition types and the level of incomes. it is necessary to reduce energy cost and keep energy security through the electricity demand forecasting and management technology. Progressive social change such as increases of single household, the aging of society, increases in the income level will replace the existing residential electricity demand pattern. However, Only with conventional methods that using only the energy consumption per-unit area are based on Energy final consumption data can not respond to those social and environmental change. To develop electricity demand estimation model that can cope flexibly to changes in the social and environmental, In this paper researches propensity of electricity consumption according to the type of residents configuration, the level of income. First, we typed form of inhabitants in residential that existed in Korea. after that we calculated hourly electricity consumption for each type through National Time-Use Survey performed at the National Statistical Office with considering overlapping behavior. Household appliances and retention standards according to income level is also considered.

상품 및 서비스 소비구조의 변경을 통해 에너지절약이 실현될 수 있기 때문에 가정부문의 간접 및 총 에너지소비를 추정할 필요가 있다. 가정부문의 직간접 에너지소비를 보다 정확히 추정하기 위해 본 연구는 기업과 소비자(가정부문) 간 석유제품 및 전력의 가격을 차별화하였다. 한국의 가정부문은 1995-2010년 기간 중 한국 1차 에너지소비 중 55% 이상을 소비하였다. 가정부문의 에너지소비 중 69% 이상이 간접 에너지소비였다. 따라서 가정부문의 직접뿐만 아니라 간접 에너지소비도 에너지절약의 대상이 되어야 한다. 전력 소비는 2009년 한국의 가정부문의 주 에너지소비가 되었다. 생활수준이 향상됨으로써 가정부문은 전력 원단위가 높은 상품과 서비스를 소비하게 되었다. 한국 가정부문이 소비하는 제품의 에너지 원단위가 낮아짐으로써, 에너지소비의 증가율이 감소하게 되었다. 반면에 한국 가정부문의 상품 및 서비스 소비구조는 에너지 다소비형으로 변경되어 오히려 에너지소비 증가를 가속시키는 결과를 초래함으로써, 구조효과는 악화되었다. 이에 따라 에너지정책은 에너지소비를 감소시키기 위해 소비자로 하여금 에너지 저소비형 재화와 용역을 소비하도록 유도하여야 한다. 에너지 저소비형 소비를 촉진시킬 수 있는 주요 수단인 에너지가격 현실화가 요구된다.

Standby power is the electricity consumed in an electrical equipment when it is switched-off or not performing its main function. Due to the acceleration of digital electronics and home networking, standby power use tends to increase rapidly year by year. In this paper, standby power consumption in residential sector in Korea has been surveyed and reported for the first time. Totally 825 pieces of electrical equipments that consume standby power in 53 households were investigated. The average standby power per equipment and total standby power per household were 3.66W and 57.0W, respectively. Annual standby power consumption per household was estimated 306kWh; which means the standby power consumption in residential sector in Korea can be estimated 4.6TWh a year representing 1.67 percent of total electrical consumption (274TWh).

Small photovoltaic equipment spreads to the detached house owing to the support of government. This study analyzed the payback period of small photovoltaic equipment, and presented a plan of spreading PV equipment by electricity consumption according to the results. The results of payback period analysis showed that a household of 500kWh or above in the average monthly electricity consumption could produce an economic effect without the subsidies of government, and a household of 300kWh or above could secure economical efficiency in case of receiving the subsidies of government and municipality. However, it was shown that the economic effect was not large in case of a household of less than 250kWh. Therefore, the analysis showed that it would be necessary to be supported by additional subsidies or to develop a new supporting policy with regard to a household of less than 250kWh.

Purpose: To evaluate the economic performance of grid-connected photovoltaic system in residential house, household electricity bill policy of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) must be applied precisely, and market tendency and uncertainty of system also need to be considered. In this study, to evaluate the economic feasibility of PV system, we measured PV power generation and electricity consumption of six of Green home in Daejeon through web based remote monitoring system. Method: We applied Monte-Carlo simulation based on life cycle cost analysis, to reflect an uncertainty of main factor in economic feasibility evaluation of photovoltaic system. Result: First, with deterministic analysis, the difference of NPV of cumulative financial savings among households varied from -3,310 ~ 24,170 thousand won, portraying notably big range. Also the possibility of getting the same result was 50% when applying uncertainty. Second, the higher electricity consumption is, the more economic feasibility of photovoltaic system increases because KEPCO uses progressive taxation in household electricity bill policy. Third, The contribution to variance of electricity price increases in NPV varied from 98.5% to 99.9%. While the inflation rate and annual degradation contributed very little to none.
