description The states of the northern border of Mexico stand out for their high levels of electricity consumption, especially those located in arid areas where there is a need to use air conditioning devices, it's remarkable that in some cases an inhabitant of this area consumes as much energy in a summer month as the rest of the country's users consume in a year, such is the case of the city of Mexicali, B.C. which presents a unique and complex structure of electricity consumption product of aspects related to its border and climate context that is reflected in an economic, social and environmental impact product of the way in which electricity is consumed, especially in the months of summer. Therefore, it is important to investigate ways to reduce electricity consumption in the city. As a response to the problem, some studies have been developed to observe the phenomenon from two perspectives, one related to electronic devices and the other related to users, from this perspective, stand out studies have indicated that there is a clear relationship between consumption of electrical energy, pro-environmental practices, and the lifestyles, in a such a way that this work focuses on this aspect. To achieve this, a quantitative approach was used through a questionnaire applied to 273 homes in Mexicali. Among the main results, it was found that there are three types of lifestyles. In each lifestyle, there is a similar but differentiated interest both in saving electricity and in pro-environmental practices. User behavior when using electrical devices is key to energy-saving practices in homes. There is a great lack of knowledge about electricity consumption and few participation in electricity-saving programs in the households analyzed.

Los estados de la frontera norte de México destacan por los elevados niveles de consumo de energía eléctrica, sobre todo los que se ubican en zonas áridas donde existe la necesidad de utilizar aparatos de climatización, a razón de que un habitante de esta zona consume tanta energía en un mes de verano como el resto de los usuarios del país consume en un año, tal es el caso de la ciudad de Mexicali, B.C. la cual presenta una estructura singular y compleja de consumo eléctrico producto de aspectos relacionados con su contexto fronterizo y climático que se refleja en un impacto económico, social y ambiental producto de la manera en la que se consume la energía eléctrica, sobre todo en los meses de verano. Por lo anterior, resulta importante investigar sobre formas para reducir el consumo de energía eléctrica en la ciudad. Como respuesta a la problemática, se han realizado algunos estudios que observan el fenómeno desde dos perspectivas, una relacionada con los aparatos que utilizan energía eléctrica y otra relacionada con los usuarios, desde esta perspectiva destacan los estudios que han indicado que existe una clara relación entre los estilos de vida y el consumo de energía eléctrica así como las prácticas proambientales de los hogares, de tal manera que este trabajo se centra en este aspecto. Para lograr lo anterior, se utilizó un acercamiento de corte cuantitativo a través de un cuestionario aplicado a 273 hogares de Mexicali. Entre los principales resultados se encontró que existen tres tipos de estilos de vida. En cada estilo de vida existe un interés similar pero diferenciado tanto por el ahorro de energía eléctrica como por las prácticas proambientales. El comportamiento del usuario al utilizar los aparatos eléctricos es clave en las prácticas de ahorro de energía que se realizan en los hogares. Existe un gran desconocimiento acerca del consumo eléctrico y poca participación en los programas de ahorro de energía eléctrica en los hogares analizados.
