Residential Consumption
Global electricity consumption breaks down fairly evenly between commercial/industrial and residential consumption. IMS Research considers these segments separate from one another as the types of electricity consuming equipment used vary significantly.
Residential consumption refers to the use of electricity in domestic households. Electricity usage in the home is varied, although significant opportunities for power savings can be found among key equipment such as major home appliances, lighting and HVAC systems.
Indeed, the evolution of the "smart home" is a key trend linked to the smart grid in general.
