Abstract

Demographic change affects the energy use in the household sector, which accounts for a major share of overall energy use. To understand this chain of effects better, we will devote this chapter to a more detailed analysis of households’ energy consumption. EVS data are used to identify differences in energy use between age groups, and the special roles of transport and space heating are discussed. We show that the effect of demographic change is not uniform across Germany: it depends on the technological and socio-economic conditions, which differ between regions.
