assumed to be equal to the number of households, except where shown. |
b Consumption
per unit is assumed to equal consumption per household, except where shown. |
c Households with both central air-conditioning and
individual room units are counted only under "Central." |
d Households with both main space-heating systems and
secondary equipment are counted only under "Main System." |
e Energy
used to heat water coming into the washer is excluded. |
f Only those households where the most-used range top is
electric and where more than one meal per week is cooked are counted. |
g Only those households where the most-used oven is electric
and the oven is used more than once per week are counted. |
h Only
those households where the coffee maker is used more than once per week are
counted. |
i "Lighting"
