AbstractIncreasing energy efficiency is a key global policy goal for climate protection. An important step toward an optimal reduction of energy consumption is the identification of energy saving potentials in different sectors and the best strategies for increasing efficiency. This paper analyzes these potentials in the household sector by estimating the degree of inefficiency in the use of electricity and its determinants. Using stochastic frontier analysis and disaggregated household data, we estimate an input requirement function and inefficiency on a sample of 2000 German households. Our results suggest that the mean inefficiency amounts to around 20%, indicating a notable potential for energy savings. Moreover, we find that household size and income are among the main determinants of individual inefficiency. This information can be used to increase the cost-efficiency of programs aimed to enhance energy efficiency.

The worldwide concern about the energy sector has been growing gradually. Several systems that seek to combine control and energy efficiency have been developed over the years. Given this problem, this work proposes a system of control of residential electricity consumption, which aims to give the user flexibility and real-time monitoring of the electrical energy expenditure by home appliances. The proposed system has a server developed in Python programming language that offers a web user interface and uses micro controllers to perform the energy measurement and data transmission to the control server. By applying the developed prototypes in a use scenario, it was observed that the prototypes met the requirements defined at the beginning of development.
