Red Stack - Heating and Cooling

Domestic water heating, cooking, and cleaning all take up nearly the same amount of energy per day for a person in the US.

When examining heating and cooling of the environment heating takes much more energy over the course of a year.  It is about 2.5 times more in fact.  

Space heating was determined by assuming that for half the year each person used an individual space heater.

 The total is about 68 kWh/person/day which is comparable to the UK; however, it is more as would be expected.
