Abstrakt: Reducing energy demand in the domestic segment is an important problem worldwide. This study focused on the awareness of residents on energy conservation and on the potential of reducing energy demand through energy-saving activities. The following observations were noted down during the experiment of smart meter in 10 houses of Mumbai city. (1) Its installation led to a reduction in power consumption, (2) a change in energy-saving behaviours of the household members such as the reduction of standby power and a better control of appliance operation, and (3) energy-conservation awareness affected not only the power consumption of the appliances explicitly shown on the display monitor but also other household appliances.
