Abstract:

This paper presents survey results about energy habits and residential behaviors of high school students belonging to a marginal urban sector called "el Fortin" in the city of Guayaquil. The objective is to identify users' perceptions about determinants of energy efficiency measures associated to their energy culture with the use of logistics regression models. It is a result of an outreach program made by the Mechanical and Production Science Faculty of the ESPOL. Based on the results, this paper identifies and proposes changes to methodologies and contents to be used at community levels to increase energy savings at home.
