Worldwide, energy is crucial to improve human conditions and well-being. Technical and cultural elements shape the level, diversity and sustainability of uses given to energy at homes. Our research group at the Institute of Advanced Energy (Kyoto University) is concerned with key socio-cultural domains structuring residential energy use. In this portal, you will find information on our investigations about the relationship between energy use and quality of life; energy, gender and household roles; and energy services and poverty.
Despite the efforts to achieve universal electric accaess by 2030, as of 2021 more than 850 million people live without electricity in vast and remote areas in the developing world.
As one component of household energy services, the use of efficient appliances is another essential part to reduce energy use and carbon footprints in the residential sector.
Energy, appliances, and home features are critical constituents of energy services that are fundamental for human well-being.
The development of methods for measuring deprivation of energy services in connection with socioeconomic and geographic dimensions is a fundamental issue for sustainability and energy policy design.
