In this study, I surveyed household energy consumption and related indicators in various western andAsian countries. In the western countries, household energy consumption shows a trend towardsaturation, but in the Asian countries it is likely that household energy consumption will continue to rise.In rural areas of Asia, especially because the energy infrastructure has not yet been completed, theremay also be, on the positive side, opportunities to encourage acquisition of innovative energy systems.
