The research is looking at the demand forecast of energy of the housing sector of Punjab to address the energy shortage crisis arising constantly. The housing sector of developing countries faces an increase in demand for energy consumption. The authorities find it difficult to meet this increasing demand due to a lack of understanding of the factors causing it. The research provided statistical data based on an in-depth literature analysis of key demand perspectives discussed under two different scenarios. The study found huge demand increase factors that are never mitigated to overcome the inherent energy issues. Natural population growth, urbanisation, shift in construction materials, and better lift styles of slums areas, as well as reduced occupancy ratio per household, are increasing energy demand. Based on the actual data and facts, the recommendation is to add substantial energy demand against each perspective and corresponding mitigation measures.
