論文概要:The rapid increase in global demand for energy, particularly in Asia, has heightened concerns about the future energy crisis. Economic growth and rising living standards have led to higher household energy consumption, while conventional power solutions like nuclear energy have faced challenges due to environmental risks. To address these issues, this study explores effective strategies for reducing household energy use through the analysis of residential lifestyles and living environments.

The research adopts a comprehensive approach, including large-scale questionnaire surveys distributed to over 4,000 households in China, Thailand, Indonesia, and Japan, to identify influential factors affecting energy consumption. Additionally, field measurements were conducted on Japanese ecological house models equipped with passive and active technologies, allowing the study of their energy performance under varied lifestyle patterns. Residential energy simulations were further applied to evaluate sustainable housing solutions for Asian countries.

The findings reveal significant correlations between household characteristics, residential environments, and energy consumption. Key factors include house size, appliance ownership, family behaviors, and regional living conditions. The study also highlights the potential of ecological housing technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, solar panels, and heat pumps in reducing household energy demands. Simulations of Eco-house models demonstrated their effectiveness in various Asian contexts, providing insights for architects, developers, and policymakers to design energy-efficient housing for sustainable urban development.

This research contributes valuable data and methodologies for understanding the interplay between residential lifestyles and energy use. It emphasizes the importance of integrating behavioral, environmental, and technological approaches to achieve sustainable energy solutions in the household sector.
