Trends in the Specific Consumption of Domestic Electrical Appliances

摘要

Following the introduction in 1977 of product consumption data for domestic appliances, their consumption pattern from 1978 to 1985 was analysed by the ZVEI (Central Association of the Electrical Industry). Washing machines, dishwashers, cookers, refrigerators, freezers and how water storage tanks were studied. The energy savings over this period ranged from 15.7% cookers to 31.3% for hot water tanks. Domestic lighting was also examined and the economic advantage of fluorescent lighting over the conventional lightbulb is explained. 6 figs., 6 tabs. (ERA citation 13:007582)
