Implications of COVID-19 pandemic for energy-use and energy saving household electrical appliances consumption behaviour in Malaysia

Analysis of the influence of the stay-at-home order on the electricity consumption in Chinese university dormitory buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…For example, Zanocco et al [34] used an online survey in California's shelter-in-place order to determine variations in household energy activity in terms of the use of electronics. Mustapa et al [35] investigated the consumption patterns of household appliances across Malaysia before, during, and after the movement-control order (MCO) and found a significant increase in electricity consumption during the MCO period. All the above reference demonstrated that questionnaire surveys are effective for obtaining detailed information on energy-consumption behaviour, especially when data monitoring is unavailable [36] .…”

Design and Performance of a Power Generating Manual Treadmill

“…In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which consist of 17 objectives to be accomplished by 2030. SDG 7 aims to provide affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all [1] This goal is especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic, as measures such as movement control orders (MCO) have significantly increased residential energy consumption while commercial and business energy consumption has decreased [2]. Impact of the MCO on electricity consumption has shown a sharp increase in residential electricity consumption [3].…”
