Bottom-up methodology to estimate dwellings’ theoretical final energy consumption.
High-resolution spatial scale analysis for 3092 Portuguese regions.
Energy performance gaps result from inefficient dwellings and low energy consumption.
This paper proposes a methodology to characterize household energy consumption in order to quantify the number of Spanish households whose energy expenditure is abnormally low, considering their characteristics. This indicator will be called ‘Low share on required energy expenditure’ (‘Required M/2)
The UK Fuel Poverty Monitor assesses and reviews policies which are either aimed at or affect the main drivers of fuel poverty, namely: the energy efficiency of domestic dwellings, household incomes and the cost of energy.
