1. Personal Energy Consumption By Jeremy Larsen

2. Household Energy Consumption http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/publications/esa99dp6.pdf The household sector is responsible for about 15 to 25 per cent of primary energy use in OECD countries and for a higher share in many developing countries. Average per capita household energy use in developed countries is about nine times higher than in developing countries

3. So why are we burning more energy? Geographic Location of U.S. Households U.S. Housing Units by Number of Rooms http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/recs/recs97/decade.html#geolocat

4. So why are we burning more energy? We always want more. (Example) Some of my own Observations VS. 17 Bulbs @ 13W 221W 3 Bulbs @ 60W 180W Traditional Light Fixtures Can Lights

6. So why are we burning more energy? Assuming that they run for 3 hrs a day 365 days of the year and $0.09/kWh 1116.9 kWh/year 242 kWh/year 197.1kWh/year 28.47 kWh/year $100.52$21.78$17.74$2.56 Now a Rhetorical Question

9. Energy Use by End-Use Sector Transportation Industrial Commercial Residential Transportation sector use of energy experienced tremendous growth overall, but registered noticeable pauses in 1974, 1979-1982, 1990 and 1991, and 2001. In 2004, petroleum accounted for 97 percent of the sector’s energy, and motor gasoline accounted for two-thirds of all petroleum used in the sector.

14. If we really want to see change? It is what no one wants to hear but we will have to give up some things rather than always getting more.

15. What is wrong with us?

17. Energy Savings If we could actually cut our household energy usage in half… Current Average Household Energy Usage = 35 GJ 9730 kWh/2 = 4865 kWh 35 GJ = 9730 kWh 4865 kWh * $0.09 = $437.85 saved per year per household. $437.85 * 105,480,101 households in the year 2000 = $46,184,462,222.80 saved per year 17.5 GJ * 105,480,101 households in the year 2000 = 1.85x10^18 J or 5.13x10^ 11 kWh saved per year
