The pie charts illustrate the energy consumption in an average Australian household and the greenhouse gas emitted as a result of this energy utilization. Various purposes covered by the charts include heating, refrigeration, cooling, etc.
At a first glance, we can observe that 42% of the energy is utilized for heating, followed by 30% consumed for water heating. Other activities like refrigeration, lighting and cooling consume an extremely small proportion ranging around 7%, 4% and 2% respectively. The left over 15% is required for operating the miscellaneous appliances.
When we consider the emissions, a humongous 32% of energy is emitted from water heating activities, followed by other appliances (28%). Heating and refrigeration also emit a major proportion of greenhouse gas ranging around 15% and 14% respectively. Other activities like cooling and lighting release a minor percentage of greenhouse gas.
