- 01 Apr 1989 - 
- Vol. 14, Iss: 4, pp 187-197
TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed and applied a model of residential space-heating demand, which incorporates economic, family-composition and structural housing factors as explanatory variables, and assessed 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 ratestructure and energy-price data.

A survey of energy demand elasticities in support of the development of the NEMS

TL;DR: There has been a substantial amount of work on estimating demand elasticities, at various levels of aggregation using a variety of models as mentioned in this paper, and a critical analysis of them, attempt to come up with summary elasticities.

Do Homes That Are More Energy Efficient Consume Less Energy?: A Structural Equation Model of the English Residential Sector

TL;DR: In this paper, a structural equation model is introduced to calculate the magnitude and significance of explanatory variables on residential energy consumption, which can explain the complex relationships that exist between manifest variables and their overall effect though direct, indirect and total effects.
