The energy consumption of residential buildings and its potential influence factors in Inner Mongolia were investigated by questionnaires.The main factors influencing energy consumption of the residential buildings were screened by the partial corresponding analysis.The partial correlation analysis indicates that the total energy consumption of the residential buildings and the energy consumption per unit floor area are closely related to annual household income, air conditioning opened situations and building orientation. While they are not significantly related to construction area, building type, building ages, household resident population, heating modes, appliances quantity, appliances opened situations, hot water supply modes, According to these influencing factors, the article put forward some energy optimization measures.
