The pie charts illustrate in percentage the
energy
consumption of electrical appliances in an average home in Australia and their resultant proportion of gas
emissions
. Overall
, it can be seen that the highest amount of energy
is used for heating and the largest proportion of greenhouse gas
emissions
comes from water heating.
To commence with, the highest percentage of energy
at 42 is used for heating and it is the third at 15% for gas
emissions
. Heating water utilizes the second largest energy
. However
, it is by far the highest at 32% in the emission of greenhouse gases. Other appliances use 15% of energy
and contribute about a little over a quarter in emitting carbon dioxide.
In addition
, the emission of greenhouse gases from refrigeration and lighting is double the proportion of their energy
usage at 7% and 2% respectively. Cooling accounted for just a little in energy
consumption and gas
emissions
