Energy, 1989, vol. 14, issue 4, 187-197

Abstract: The objectives of this study were the development and application of a model of residential space-heating demand, which incorporates economic, family-composition and structural housing factors as explanatory variables. We assess the impact of home retrofitting and other conservation actions on residential energy demand by analyzing data collected as part of a national sample of Canadian households, which are supplemented with rate-structure and energy-price data.
