Given are two figures concerning the power consumed in various sections and the emitted greenhouse gas related to these parts in a house in Australia.
A glance at the information provided reveals that most energy is used for heating while the highest amount of environmentally-damaging gases are produced by the part of water heating.
One particularly interesting fact highlighted by the figure is that by far the most energy-consuming section is heating with 42 per cent but its greenhouse gas emission is about one-third of its power use. Accounting for approximately 30 per cent, water heating, meanwhile, is the second in terms of power application and the major part of producing greenhouse gas. In stark contrast, however, other appliances with utilizing only 15 per cent of energy, surprisingly, cause harmful gases double of the above-mentioned amount, with 28 per cent, as the second important section in greenhouse emission figure.
The noteworthy is the fact that refrigeration is allocated a mere 7 per cent of all the power consumed but its dangerous gases emission is twofold. Lighting and cooling, however, meanwhile, are the least in both categories.
