Band 6+: The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average British household. The second chart shows the greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main fea- tures, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts illustrate the proportional usage of energy and the rate of released greenhouse gas emissions in an average home in the United Kingdom.

Overall, while most of the energy is used in houses for heating and water heating, the only usage that has less greenhouse gas emissions rate than its consumption is heating.

Focusing on energy consumption, heating, and water heating have the largest share with 42 percent and 30 percent, respectively. The energy expenditure of other appliances is in third place, at 15 percent, and refrigeration follows it with 7 percent. The minority of energy, 4 percent and 2 percent, is used for lighting and cooling houses.

Concentrating on greenhouse gas emissions, water heating, and other appliances have a crucial portion with 32 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Conversely, its major usage rate, heating causes only 15 percent of emissions. After that, refrigeration’s proportion comes to 14 percent. Similar to consumption rates, lighting, and cooling are placed in the last rows; the former 8 percent and the latter 3 percent.
