The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average Australian household. The second chart shows the greenhouse gas emission which result from this energy use.

The first pie

chart

illustrates the

proportion

of

energy

usage in an Australian household.

However

, the

second

graph provides information about

greenhouse

gases which are emitted from people’s

energy

use.

Overall

,

while

heating accounted for the highest percentage of

energy

use, the smallest amount of

energy

was used for cooling. In the

second

chart

, the largest

proportion

of

greenhouse

gases was emitted from water heating.

Moreover

, the least amount of

greenhouse

gas emissions resulted from the

energy

used for cooling.

To begin

with the first graph, the

proportion

of heating was the highest at 42% and 30% of

energy

was used for warming up the water.

In addition

, 7% of

energy

was consumed for refrigeration.

Furthermore

, the figure for cooling and lighting was the lowest with 2% and 4% respectively. It is worth noting that, 15% of

energy

was consumed for other appliances. Turning towards the

second

chart

, 32% of

greenhouse

gases were emitted from the

energy

which was used for water heating which was the largest. The

second

highest

proportion

of

greenhouse

gas emissions resulted from other appliances with 28%.

However

, the figure for heating and refrigeration was roughly the same with 15% and 14% respectively. Similar to the first

chart

, the percentage of cooling and lighting was the smallest with only 3% and 8%.
