Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to highlight the socio-economic and spatial indicators for urban household energy consumption for a more effective and sensitive energy planning exercise. Partly based on a household energy survey, this paper highlights the need to understand the complexities of the increasing urban growth rate around the world. The community, Baranggay 557 in the city of Manila is described, including structure and energy patterns, thus leading to an approach towards indicators and the rudiments of an energy policy.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
