The pie chart below illustrates the percentage of power that was used in Australian houses in 2008. Seven appliances for energy usage are given: heating and cooling, water heating, fridges and freezers, lighting, cooking, standby power and other appliances[heating, cooling, lighting, cooking, standby power are not appliances.
Overall, the largest amount of energy was used for heating and cooling, while the smallest amount of energy was employed on standby. The remaining energy was used for other things.
Over one-third of the total energy in Australian homes was spent on heating and cooling (38% ). At the same time, the energy used for water heating made up exactly a quarter of all energy in Australian houses (25% ), whereas other appliances like television constituted 16% of energy usage in the home.
Looking at the pie chart, it can be also seen that the energy for cooking accounted for 4%. Less than one in ten of all energy usage was for fridges and freezers which is the same percentage of the energy used for lighting (7%).
