The two pie charts illustrate the percentage of domestic energy consumption for several purposes
and how much greenhouse gas is emitted in an average Australian family.
According to the first chart, about 42% of energy consumed in an Australian family is used for
heating, which is the highest proportion. The figure for water-heating is slightly lower, at around
30%. However, the percentage of other appliances stands at approximately 15% and the rest,
including refrigeration, lighting and cooling, stay under 7%.
In comparison, water-heating and other appliances are the majors of household greenhouse gas
emissions, with about 32% and 28% respectively. Heating in this case releases around 15% of
greenhouse gas although it is the most frequent energy consumption. Interestingly, refrigeration
emits an amount of greenhouse gas at about nearly 14% which is a double in comparison with
itself in household energy usage. Similarly, 3% of emissions are caused by cooling and 8% of those
are produced by lighting which occupy the higher figures than they are used.
In conclusion, most energy is used for heating but the most significant emissions are released by
water-heating and other appliances. While cooling is not as considerable as others in both charts.
