The research was carried on the relation between the housing attribute and the annual energeuse pattern of some apartment houses located in the central area and the suburb of Tokyo. The energy consumption throughout the year is analysized by the statistical method based on the housing attribute as variables. Among the 18 factors studied, the floor space, the number of family, an annual income, the cooling and heating system, a washing drier, and household by oneself, and so forth are found to be main factors to affect the annual energy consumption. Also the houses can be classified into four groups according to those main factors. Furthermore qualification based on housing attribute was done to grasp the characteristics of the annual energy consumption on the classified groups. The results presented in this research can be used as a basic data to predict the energy consumption in the apartment houses just by the housing attribute and also can be available for the urban environmental plan.
