Residential Energy Efficiency 

INTRODUCTION 

With the rise of worldwide consumption of energy the need to reduce the usage of energy in house is increasing. Energy conservation is the most important criteria to be looked into at the present era. With the continuous use of depleting energy resources, the energy resources are at the verge of extinction. People have become more aware of the depleting energy resources and therefore the residential market for energy efficient products and services are in high demand in the past few years. The ever increasing price of fuel and energy, improved awareness about green home and support of government towards a greener world has helped in the increased demand of energy efficient products. Government programs have provided a great incentive for the use of energy efficient products and services thus spurring the growth of this sector. Main disadvantage can be that if the government ceases to support these energy efficient products and services their demand will be short lived.  

The Pike Research report examines the energy efficient product and services in the residential sector. The study analyzes the demand drivers and the market issue including the effects of legislative issues, green certification programs, home financing programs and incentives provided by the government. The research also asses home products and appliances, utility services, new home and remodeling industries as well as home energy revaluations. Local, state and the central governments play an important role in increasing the energy efficient codes and requirements and thus providing a drive force in the increased consumption of energy efficient products and services. Many residential energy efficient product markets are showing a significant growth in the year 2010 and the growth is expected to rise by the year 2011. With the development of utility smart grid infrastructure the need for smart appliances and meters to reduce energy consumption will be in demand.   

Software’s are also developed in order to spread the awareness of using energy efficient appliances, products and services. The program shows ways in which home energy consumption can be reduced. It allows the user to calculate how much they can save if energy efficient products are used. Energy simulation software can be used to evaluate energy and derive benefits of such energy efficient products. Energy efficient products if used in household can not only help you save your electricity bills but also hospital bills, as these are not only energy efficient but are environmentally and health wise safe.
