Abstract

This study examines various scenarios of the energy consumption trends of the residential and small commercial buildings in Thailand. It is expected that without implementing any energy conservation measures, the consumption of these sectors will increase about two folds from the present (2010) in next twenty years (2030). Although the consumptions by the main activities i.e. lighting, cooking, entertainment reach saturation, the increase of units of air-conditioners and electric water heaters in the buildings results in dramatic electricity consumption. ฉ 2011 IEEE.
