%X <p><span>This paper presents a methodology for modeling residential </span><span>appliance uptake as a function of macroeconomic variables, </span><span>and presents forecasts of appliance diffusion through 2030 </span><span>for several scenarios of economic (GDP) growth.</span> T<span>he approach followed allows the modeler to construct a </span><span>bottom-&shy;up analysis based at the end use and the household </span><span>level. It captures the appliance uptake and the saturation effect </span><span>which will affect the energy demand growth in the residen&shy;</span><span>tial sector. With this approach, the modeler can also account </span><span>for stock changes in technology and efficiency as a function </span><span>of time. </span></p>
