Determination of Households Energy Consumption as a Part oif Regional Energy Planing

In the paper the household energy consumption analysis as part of regional energy planning has been presented. Research has been performed for the area of Primorsko-goranska County, Croatia. The analysis was based on a survey of households using a spatial division methodology. For this purpose, the region has been spatially divided into 14 zones based on geographic, climatic and economical characteristics as well as different population concentration and urbanization. Analysis included the calculation of final energy consumption for the whole region and for each single zone. Furthermore, the final energy consumption has been analyzed regarding energy sources and use of this energy for space heating, domestic hot water preparation, cooking and non-thermal usage. In addition, some parameters have also been presented, depending on living standard, but also related to energy consumption, such as number of household members and possession of household devices and cars. The results of the research are a base for the gasification project of the region.
