An effort has been made to study the energy consumption pattern of urban households. For this purpose survey was conducted at the household level through a questionnaire in Mymensingh municipality area. Out of 80 respondents use electricity for lighting and home appliances, only 5.0% for cooking electric heater. Among the 80 households, 98.8 (almost all) our TV, 86.36 freezes, 40.0% DVD Player, 26.3 % computer, 11.3% oven, 6.3% deep freeze and 2.5 air cooler, 2.5% households own all of these appliances. The estimated consumption of electric energy ranges from 30 KWh to 586 KWh per household per month with an average of 247 KWh per month. According to the monthly electric bill, consumption of electric energy ranges from 32 KWh to 985 KWh per household per month with an average of 199 KWh per month. Out of 80 households, 90.0% families use gas for cooking, 5% uses electricity and other 5% uses biomass. 1000W or 1500W heaters are normally used for cooking. The average monthly consumption of natural gas for cooking per household is 931.8 kWh within the range of 170.0 – 1274.2 kWh. Gas consumption varies with cooking hours per day, which varies from 2 to 6 hours. The consumption of biomass energy for cooking per household is 196-663 kWh per month.

1. To estimate the energy consumption by urban households for lighting, home appliances and cooking.

2. To identify the energy use pattern by city dwellers.

The present study was done based upon field survey where primary data were collected systematically by means of a questionnaire. Individual householders were visited personally by the researcher for data collection. Most of the householder doesn’t keep the records of their household activities. So the accuracy of the information given by them are not beyond doubt. Energy is fundamental necessity of the households. Energy is used for various household activities. The household energy is mainly used for cooking, lighting and electric and electronic appliances. A micro-level study about the present status of household energy consumption for cooking, lighting and operating household appliances was conducted with each 80 families in the city. Selection of the study area: The study was conducted in the Mymensingh municipality area. Considering the socio-economic and educational status of the households. 80 households were selected randomly from different parts of the municipal area such as Balaspur, Vatikashor, Natunbazar, Nowmohol, Golkibari, R.K. Mission road, etc. Collection of data: In order to collect relevant information on data sheets, the single interview technique was followed i.e. primary data was collected directly from the household members. A questionnaire was prepared prior to data collection, which was pretested by a few sample data collection and then modified into the present form (given in Appendix-A). Survey work was done in the month of July, 2007. It was very difficult to collect data, since house owners in most cases do not keep written records. For these researchers had to rely completely upon the memory of the family members. All possible efforts were made by the researcher to ensure the collection of reasonably accurate data. 3.3 Processing, converting and analyzing data After completion of the data sheets, the collected data were summarized. After completing the pre-tabulation task, processed data were transferred to a master sheet. These data were put into Microsoft excel 2000 spreadsheet in a personal computer. The tabulated data were then analyzed in the computer for presentation in graphical and tabular forms.

1. Out of 80 respondents, 98.75% use electricity for lighting and home appliances, only 5% for cooking (electric heater) . The estimated consumption of electric energy ranges from 30 KWh to 586 KWh per household per month with an average of 247 KWh per month. According to monthly electric bill, consumption of electric energy ranges from 32 KWh to 985 KWh per household per month with an average of 199 KWh per month. 2. Among the 80 households, 98.8 (almost all) our TV, 86.36 freeze, 40.0% DVD Player, 26.3 % computer, 11.3% oven, 6.3% deep freeze and 2.5 air cooler. 2.5% households own all of these appliances. It is impressing that the urban households consider this equipment useful for the family. 3. Out of 80 households, 90.0% families use gas for cooking, 5% uses electricity and other 5% uses biomass. 4. The choice of energy sources depends on the availability, price and also the purchasing capacity of the people. 5. Average monthly consumption of natural gas for cooking per household is 931.8 kWh within the range of 170.0 – 1274.2 kWh. Gas consumption varies with cooking hours per day, which varies from 2 to 6 hours. The consumption of biomass energy for cooking per household is 196-663 kWh per month.
