You are advised to spend about 20 minutes on this task. The first chart below shows how energy is used in an average Australian household. The second chart shows the percentage of greenhouse gas emissions which result from this energy use. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Australian households consume a significant amount of

energy

for heating and cooling, followed closely by water heating 23%. Interestingly,

while

appliances consume less

energy

overall

12% for refrigeration and 24% for other appliances, they are responsible for a larger portion of greenhouse gas emissions 16% and 25% respectively.
