摘要
This paper presents a statistical model that establishes a relationship between the annual electricity consumption per capita and some variables which characterize a sample of Canadian cities. These variables are related to urban density, demography and meteorological data as well as economic activities and energy context which distinguish cities. A larger discussion concerning the benefit of increasing urban density in order to reduce the city energy consumption is included. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
