Abstract
This study investigates the impact of time-varying electrical loads on household energy consumption and carbon emissions, with the goal of developing strategies for load management to reduce carbon footprints. Conducted in the residential households of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, Philippines, the research employed a descriptive-correlational design and a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data on energy usage and carbon emissions were collected through electricity bills and energy monitoring devices, while qualitative insights were gathered through surveys and focus group discussions. Statistical analysis and thematic analysis were used to identify household energy consumption patterns, quantify carbon emissions during peak and off-peak hours, and evaluate strategies for shifting energy-intensive activities.
Keywords: Household Energy Consumption, Carbon Emissions, Load Management
