Sažetak
Because of the rapid growth of energy demand in developing countries, policies for
energy efficiency are receiving increasing attention. Although Energy Efficiency
Standards and Labeling (EES&L) is a standard policy tool in many countries, some
developing countries, such as Lao PDR, have not yet implemented them fully. In order to
understand the potential impact of EES&L, this paper aims at collecting data that
contribute to EES&L and at analysing appliance possessions in Vientiane City, Lao PDR.
We conducted an interview survey on 600 households in Vientiane City and performed
logistic regression analysis that set possession of appliances as the dependent variable.
As a result of the analysis, we identified that the income level and the electricity
consumption are the principal independent variables and the relationship of these
variables with possession rates depends on appliances. Our model helps identify
appliances that are expected to be in high demand associated with either economic
growth or human population increase in Vientiane City.
