The first charts illustrates the distribution of energy consumption in an average Australian household, while the second charts shows the energy usage generated to greenhouse gas emission. However, heating has the highest energy consumption dominated by the use of heating and water heating with approximately 42% and 30% respectively. The other data are separated into four categories: refrigeration, other appliances, lighting and cooling. While cooling has the least usage with 2%.
On the other hand, heating has the most frequent use of energy, the greenhouse gas emission from heating are less than half of water heating emission at 15% compared to 32% for water heating. The emissions from these two categories are twice as high as their energy consumption, increasing from 4% to 8% for lighting and 7% to 14% for refrigeration.
As an overview, it is evident that the highest energy consumption is due to heating, where as the highest greenhouse gas emission is a result of water heating and cooling remains the least usage for both.
