| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 都市計劃學系 === 103 === The energy consumption has grown rapidly in recent years which has led the energy cost to become an important issue. In Taiwan, most of the energy was transformed into electricity for use. Furthermore, the residential sector plays an important role in the electricity consumption as its electricity requirement is in a large proportion of the overall electricity demand. Many studies indicated that the factors affecting residential electricity use could be classified into three parts, the characteristics of the house, the urban form and the overall climate. However, the reasons of the energy consumption might be different depending on the different urban scale. The aim of this study is to understand the reason in these huge electricity requirement in residential sector can be help residential buildings become more energy-saving from an urban planning aspect. Districts in Taiwan island cities were investigated. The relationship among the residential electricity consumption, the urban density and open space was discussed. Regression analysis was applied to find the significant factors of residential electricity consumption. The results show that sunshine hour, living area, building age, household size and income have significantly positive influences on residential electricity consumption while the age of people is negative. However, the water coverage ratio has significantly positive influences on summer residential electricity consumption which shows that water coverage ratio increase rather than decrease the urban heat island effect in summer, and increasing more water area causes more residential electricity consumption in summer.
