Energy Demand Assessment for water in the residential sector in Mexico

The use of energy in the residential sector is of vital importance to satisfy basic needs and to improve the quality of life of the people. While there are several studies that determine the demand for energy by end uses, the most representative are cooking, air conditioning, lighting and refrigeration of food, however those uses that represent little demand for energy have not been studied and they end up adding in the category as other uses, such as the pumping of water that is essential for human survival. In this sense, the objective of this work is to estimate the electric energy demand required to pump water in the horizontal and vertical condominiums of Mexico for 2016 as a particular year. To estimate the demand for electricity by pumping water, it was decided to use a bottom-up type model that calculates energy consumption individually and by groups of houses, and then extrapolate the results at the national level. The proposed model uses statistical information to use an Engineering Method (MI). The work is developed by presenting a general overview of energy consumption in the residential sector by end use, the methodology for estimating the demand for electricity is shown, the construction of the model and the variables used are explained, the results presented by the model and finally recommendations are issued for subsequent projects.
