The charts indicate the average energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from the use of energy in Australian household chores.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the energy use by heating devices is the highest share, while the smallest portion is for cooling systems such as air conditioners. In terms of producing greenhouse gases, the energy required for water heating results in the primary source of emissions.
Forty-two percent of energy is used by heating devices in Australian household chores, but for cooling devices just a little amount with a 2% share of energy consumption. The portion of lighting, which is used for all parts of Australian houses, is 4%, whereas the use of refrigeration is 7%. The stock of water heating is 30%, while other furniture are 15%.
The contribution of greenhouse gases emitted by household chores in the heating and cooling section, such as air conditioners or heaters, are 15% and 3% respectively. Refrigerators and lamps produce 14% and 8% of greenhouse gas respectively. Some devices like water heaters have 32% greenhouse gas emissions, while other appliances which are used in the house have 28%.
