Abstract:In order to grape the residential energy consumption structure of Shanghai,2 residential household were selected.A oneyear measurement is done of its electricity,gas and indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity,then the inspection and analysis are made of the results.According to surveys and the measured results,the trend is conjectured.Residential energy consumption structure of Shanghai can be described as the follows:25%~33% of gas,11%~13% of scouring bath,19%~21% of airconditioning, 5%~6% of lighting,8%~10% of information and entertainment,10%~13% of refrigerators,and 15%~20% of other appliances.And a comparative study is made between the results and those of the apartment houses measured in 2002~2003 in Okinawa of Kyushu,in Japan.Results show that the level of Shanghai’s energy consumption is still very low.Energy consumed on unit area of Okinawa is 2.836 times as that of Shanghai’.Energy consumed by each person of Okinawa is 1.424 times as that of Shanghai’.
