The first bar chart compares families' average
energy
spending in Australia, whereas
the second bar chart depicts the emissions of greenhouse
gas caused by this
energy
consumption.
Overall
, it is clear that
the highest proportion of the energy
is allocated to heating in the first chart, standing at 42%. Cooling, on the other hand
, is not only the lowest usage of energy
but also
results in the smallest segment of greenhouse
gas emissions. The energy
which is used for water heating in the highest share of greenhouse
gasses, at 32%.
In more detail, despite heating being the most crucial purpose of using energy
, water heating is the second major in the percentage of using energy
, at around 30%. Refrigeration, lighting, and cooling comprise only small portions of 7%, 4%, and 2%, respectively.
By contrast
, the energy
which is used for water heating induces the highest emission of greenhouse
gasses. The figure for other appliances is 28%, which is approximately two-fold the number for heating (15%) and refrigerating (14%) and is higher by 20% than the portion for lightning. The number for cooling is negligible, at 3%.Submitted by kristy.liu910 on
