Energy in the New Zealand household, 1974–1980
TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluate those economically-traded forms of energy which are consumed in the home in New Zealand, either directly as fuel or indirectly embodied in the goods and services that add up to material lifestyle, and conclude that even without improvements in the technology of energy use, the overall demand for consumer energy for direct or indirect household consumption in N.Z. is likely to increase at a much slower rate than increases in real income and significantly more slowly than in the past.About:

Life Cycle Approaches to Sustainable Consumption: A Critical Review
TL;DR: This paper reviews how life cycle approaches, primarily based on input-output analysis, have been used in the area of sustainable consumption: to inform policy making, select areas of action, identify which lifestyles are more sustainable, advise consumers, and evaluate the effectiveness ofustainable consumption measures.

An analysis of cross-sectional variations in total household energy requirements in India using micro survey data
TL;DR: In this paper, the variation in the pattern and quantum of household energy requirements, both direct and indirect, and the factors causing such variation were analyzed using micro-level household survey data from India.

Energy requirements of Sydney households
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used multivariate regression and structural path analysis (SPA) to interpret the results of energy use breakdowns for the 14 Statistical Subdivisions of Sydney and showed that significant differences in lifestyles between inner and outer areas of Sydney leads to different energy use characteristics.

Direct and indirect energy requirements of households in India
Shonali Pachauri,Daniel Spreng +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the 115 sector classification input-output tables for India for the years 1983-84, 1989-90 and 1993-94 to determine the indirect energy requirements of Indian households and found that total household energy consumption is about evenly divided between direct and indirect energy and together comprises 75% of the total energy consumption.

Energy cost of living
Robert A. Herendeen,Jerry Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: Herendeen et al. as mentioned in this paper evaluate the energy requirements of household expenditures for all products from the 1960-1961 Consumer Expenditure Survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and find that, within error bounds, one "universal" curve shows the dependence of energy impact of expenditures for households of 2 through 6 members.

Total energy cost of household consumption in Norway, 1973
TL;DR: The relationship between total household energy requirements and disposable income shares three common features with that already obtained for the United States: 1) The graph of total energy vs disposable income shows some tendency to saturate, but the effect is much less marked than for direct purchase of energy alone (residential energy and auto fuel).
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy cost of living, 1972–1973
TL;DR: The dependence of household energy use on expenditures, number of household members, degree of urbanization, and other demographic-economic factors, has been investigated graphically and statistically as mentioned in this paper.

Energy in New Zealand agriculture: Current use and future trends
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discussed the energy implications of these proposals and the maintenance of profitable farming methods and the expansion of market opportunities will be necessary if this is to be achieved.
