| a One unit is one system, appliance, or piece of equipment. The number of units is 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" includes indoor and outdoor uses. Halogen torchiere lamps are not included. | ||||||
| j "PC" includes desktop and laptop personal computers. "Printer" includes printers with and without fax/copiers. | ||||||
