Abstract
With the improvement in economic power and diversification of living patterns, the demands of household energy-consumption devices have changed. The household energy consumption accounts for 20 percent of the entire energy consumption in Korea. Among household energy consumption, electric-power consumption is expected to increase as the number of household energy-consumption devices has been on the rise. The purpose of this work is to investigate the possibility of household energy saving through the "the way of reducing the use hours of devices and their use" as the other energy saving way than "choice of highly efficient devices". To achieve the purpose, this researcher conducted a questionnaire survey with 2,250 households in the country to look into the state of the possession and use of household energy-consumption devices. And we investigate into the energy-saving behavior. The results are as follows. First, A household possessed 16.21 household energy-consumption devices. when we are grouping by energy-saving behavior, there is no difference the numbers of energy-consumption devices. Two, group 1 can save energy-cost about 11,000won in the winter and 15,000won in the summer by energy-saving behavior.
