Residential Commercial Energy Use

Unlike many of the other presentation groups, we focused on how energy is used in the residential and commercial sectors (how energy is used, not produced).  In our daily lives, we use energy for temperature control (heating/cooling), lighting, and a variety of other purposes.

According to the Energy Information Administration, we use almost half of our energy in the Residential and Commercial sectors, with Residential energy taking up almost as much as Transportation.

On this blog, you will find:

• a Concept Map of our topic
• our Powerpoint Presentation overview of the subject
• information on current appliance use
• a detailed discussion of sustainable, or green, design

We hope you find this website interesting and informative, and also hope that the information we have provided will help you make the best choices to support the environment.
