The present publication ¡s a compilation of the results of the project "Energy consumption in
households" covering the European Union and the Central and Eastern European Countries.
The objective has been to obtain reliable data about the patterns of energyn in
households by collecting the information from the demand side rather than the traditional
method of collection from the supply side (producers or distributors).
Part I analyses the main results of the survey performed in the Member States of the European
Union (excluding Italy) and Norway. DG XVII and Eurostat financed national surveys or studies
and data refer to 1995. Following an analysis of the main results at the European Union level a
comprehensive set of tables and graphs is enclosed showing national data together with an EU
aggregate.
A similar project was undertaken in the MS in 1988 (reference year). A comparison of the
results for the years 1988 and 1995 is also included for those Member States covered in the
previous survey.
The methods used by the MS were different. In some cases, ad hoc surveys were performed
whilst in others the results of existing surveys or studies were exploited for this purpose. An
outline of the methods used at national level is also included in the report.
Part II shows the results obtained from surveys performed in the following Central and Eastern
European Countries: Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia. The project was financed by
DG IA under the PHARE programme and 1996 was taken as the reference year (1993 in the
case of Poland).
Since it was the first time that an energy consumption in households survey was carried out, it
was agreed to use a common questionnaire to obtain the information during the fieldwork, with
local adaptations if required.
The organization and implementation of the project is described in detail before the assessment
of the results.These are then evaluated, firstly by country and afterwards on a comparative
basis not only with the other countries but also with other sources of information.
In both cases, Eurostat specified the common tables which countries should supply, thus
assuring comparability of relevant statistics. The definitions used are outlined in the Appendix. PARTI
