In addition

, Australian people used the most

energy

for heating, including general heating and water heating,

however

, the

gas

sent out by these uses that do not seem to be dominant. The

energy

used for heating saw the highest proportion, which accounts for more than 40%. Water heating is the second need, and its

energy

usage consists of nearly a third. Meanwhile, the

energy

used for refrigeration, cooling, lighting and other appliances just only makes up over a quarter of the total use in Australian households. The amount of

gas

emissions

from using

energy

for water heating accounts for the highest percentage, at 32% in total. Despite the highest need for

energy

for heating, the

greenhouse

gas

released from

this

use only comprises 15%. A similar proportion can be witnessed in the

gas

sent out from refrigeration, at 14%. Cooling, lighting and other appliances create roughly a third of total
