Sustainable Aspects of Electricity Consumption in Klang Valley

Recently, energy crisis is considered a global issue and the demand for an urgent solution seems inevitable. Residential buildings consume nearly one third of Total National Energy Consumption. Studies show that a significant part of energy use can be avoided through occupants’ awareness about energy consumption. In order to discover and understand energy use of Malaysian residents, this paper has identified the residential electricity use behavior and its determinants by an empirical study. The results showed that out of the six introduced IVs of the regression model to predict the electricity consumption behavior only three predictors can significantly contribute to the model.
