1996 (SCB, 1998). Expenditures for the average Swedish and the average Stockholm City household were calculated by SCB (2002c). The average Swedish household had 2.2 persons, an apartment area of 108 m 2 and 1.03 cars. The average in Stockholm City was 1.8 inhabitants, an apartment area of 84 m 2 and 0.47 cars. We could not define an average household for the Södermalm area because the sample was too small: only 11 households. Instead, we selected four individual households: three living in the Södermalm area and one in Stockholm City. We called these four households: Urban Rich, Young and Poor, Single with Car and Squeezed with Children. Two adult persons live in the Urban Rich household and they have no car, an apartment of more than 200 m 2 and spend about 650,000 SEK a year. In the Young and Poor household, there is a single person without a car living in an apartment of 75 m 2 and he/she spends about 60,000 SEK yearly. A single person is also living in the Single with Car household, and the apartment is rather large, 90 m 2 , as are the expenditures, 250,000 SEK each year. Finally, in the household Squeezed with Children there are two adults and two children in a rather small apartment, of 60 m 2. The expenditures are 240,000 SEK a year. It is important to remember that expenditures were only recorded during a period of four weeks. The yearly expenditure patterns of individual households may therefore be misrepresented if expenditures during those four weeks were far from the average. 6 Direct energy use of households In this chapter we present the direct energy use in the six different households we analysed. The calculations are based on the household expenditures (SEK) and the energy intensities (MJ per SEK) shown in Appendix 6. Direct energy use is for heating, fuel and electricity. Expenditures on direct energy use are shown in Figure 4.1. The figure shows that such expenditure ranges from 480 to 2600 Euro 2 every year. The main part of the expenditures is for heating. Expenditures on motor fuel represent 40 % of the total for the average Swedish household, that also spend about 45 % more on direct energy use compared to the average Stockholm City household. Expenditures on household electricity ranges from 160 to 750 Euro per year and for heating the range is from 320 to 1 870 Euro. Most of the analysed households pay for heating as a part of the rent, and never directly perceive the heating costs. 2 1 Euro = 9.67 SEK 25

Figure 4.2 shows how the average Stockholm City household used its direct energy. 65 % was used for heating, 19 % for motor fuel and 16 % for household electricity. heating household electricity motor fuel 16% 65% 19% Figure 4.2: Percentages of direct energy use in the average Stockholm City household, 1996 (primary energy). Table 4.3 shows the shares of direct energy use for all the households. As can be seen, heating is dominant, and ranges from 50-81 %. For households without a car; Urban Rich, Young and Poor and Squeezed with Children, the percentage is even higher as the direct energy use on motor fuel is nil. The average Stockholm City household differs from the average Swedish household in terms of energy used for motor fuel. This share is only 0.19 for the average Stockholm City household, but 0.30 for the average Swedish household. 26
