Miscellaneous electrical energy use in homes
摘要:
About 18% of all U.S. residential electricity, or 1600 kWh/yr per household, is used for miscellaneous appliances. Such appliances include waterbeds, dehumidifiers, television sets, well pumps, and clocks. The saturations, stocks, and electricity use for 35 appliances within the miscellaneous category have been estimated. Nationally, few miscellaneous appliances consume more than 2% of total electricity use, compared to 20% for refrigerators and 12% for electric water heating. However, in any given home, one of several miscellaneous appliances could be among the largest consumers of electricity. Failure to recognize the contribution of miscellaneous appliances to overall electricity demand can lead to erroneous forecasts because their demand is incorrectly attributed to space heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and other standard end uses. In addition, there will be smaller savings from conservation programs aimed at standard end uses. Several trends suggest that the energy use of miscellaneous appliances will grow. In some new homes, miscellaneous appliances account for more than 40% of total electricity use.
