The building sector has a significant contribution to global warming and climate change with respect to the energy consumption. In order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, buildings must strive to immediately reduce energy consumption using fossil fuels. Today’s urban housing consume quite high energy. The need for modern urban life and increasingly narrow land conditions, urban heat island conditions, dense urban environments contribute indirectly to changes in urban housing conditions. This study aims to examine the profile electricity energy of homes in urban areas. This study processes data from questionnaires. The result indicatesthe use of electrical energy is quite frequent for cooling the buildingin the night with setting temperature far below the comfort standard, considered a waste of energy.
