Despite the growing importance of this sector to the evolution of future energy con-sumption patterns, few data exist about the nature and type of urban household energy con-sumption. This paper summarizes the initial results of a first-ever 5-city, 251-householdcomprehensive survey of Chinese household energy use, taken in the cities of Beijing,Guangzhou, Shanghai, Yixing, and Shenyang. Focus in this paper is on analysis of the majorelectricity consuming products in households, but summaries of the findings on housingcharacteristics, space heating, air conditioning, hot water supply and use, indoor lighting,cooking, refrigeration, other appliances, house insulation, energy consumption in winter andsummer months, energy prices, and household demographic information are also included.The findings support the current policy to emphasize development of minimum efficiencystandards for household equipment, as energy consumption from these sources are a signifi-cant portion of the household energy budget.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
