The main aims of the project are: (a) to obtain segregated iriíorination 
on power consumption; (b) to estimate saving potential; (c) to carry out pi 
lot action for energy and habitability improvement; (d) to develop methods 
adapted to the wide typological dispersion of buildings in the area.
The first stage covered: (a) a typological catalogue of the area resi 
dential buildings; (b) typologically representative overall energy diagnosis 
on 350 cases out of an initial 2,400-case sample; (c) detailed thermal diag 
nosis on 91 typological cases; (d) a socio- energetic survey on 3G0 cases; 
(e) measuring of the saving potential of the residential sector.
The zones includes 10.5 million inhabitants, 2.85 million dwellings 
(INDEC 1980) and approximately 40% of the country's total power consumption.
CONCLUSIONS: In relation to power consumption in the residential area: 
l.-As compared with international data, actual heating gas consumption in 
our country is similar to that of those countries where conservation measu 
res have been enforced. 2.- The gas used for cooking and for heating water 
is essential, its consumption being annually very important. 3.- lhe socio- 
energetic profile of the homes is not consistent with the various kinds ol 
power. This would seem to indicate that any action taken towards power ra­
tionalization should be specific for each type of power and should be aimed 
at the highest consumption homes and dwellings as a priority. 4.- It seems 
clear that the saving strategies of the consumer are restricted to rationa 
lization of the use of appliances. 5.- It has been found that most consu­
mers are somehow motivated to consume less power and that such attitude re 
áults in actual practice towards that end, that is, underconsumption. There 
fore, it would seem evident that any policy for the rational use of power 
should be aimed at revising the deepest causes and make is possible for the 
consumers to adopt energetically more efficient practices, equipment, insta 
llations and housing accomodations within their income.
In relation to power saving potential of the residential segment: 6.- 
The consistency between probable and actual power consumption as recorded by 
power supply companies would seem to indicate that the method is adequate 
for the study of segregated power consumption. This should be confirmed by 
further research. 7.- The most significant potential saving detected is on 
natural gas used for heating (58.8%) which represent 24.7/. of the total gas
