New Numbers for Housing sector consumption... (In QBtu's)


I have finally worked out some hard numbers regarding the consumptive nature of U.S. buildings (and made corresponding graphics). In attaching this problem I wanted to, for lack of better words "go for the jugular"; which in the building debate resides in both (detached) single family homes and space heating. Ergo, I broke down the energy "pie" paying attention to how much energy was used by single family (primarily suburban homes) and by space heating those single family homes... It turns out the jugular may not be so easy to find in this case.
